    Potential disinformation campaign by the PLA???

    As we all know there has been a recent plethora of fake photographs, some of which very competently done, on Chinese military forums. Although they are most likely the work of CG enthusiasts "trolling" on forums has any one considered the possibility that this is a part of a greater PLA disinformation campaign to throw off Western intelligence? News from Chinese forums take days to appear on main stream Western military forums/blogs and may throw off intelligence gathering agents seeking to gain information on the internet.

    The whole point of the forum is to discuss all potential possibilities. I did not intend the topic to be offensive and I apologize if you found it as such.

    Oh the apologize is all mine. Till now I just try to play some words, but didn't thought it would be seriously taken at first place.

    OK let's make it black and white: I don't think people in Chinese forum with the same spirits I just now demostrated, are actually some undercover agents works for a greater plan.

    Such a disinformation campaign is either using small things to put the opposition occasionally off their bat or a huge complex campaign using a pretty large amount of resources. The second only makes sense if done with a specific purpose and for a short time.
    We're not seeing the second and I'm probably incapable of recognizing the first.

    Western? Not at all. I think sarcastic humor is universal. .


    Anyways, I think a disinformation campaign of the type Mace mentions would be beyond our ability to discern, so I'm not sure I would even bother trying to figure it out. It's probably better to just keep approaching things like we've always done. With a healthy dose of skepticism, and logic.

    Just reminds me of the Dreyfus affair, perhaps the most famous disinformation campaign that ruined this unfortunate man or has he said: "My affair is quite complex and I think only future generations will fully understand it."
