How does China really fight disinformation, and who decides what counts as “truth” online?
In this episode of Anatomy of Disinformation, Maia Mazurkiewicz examines China’s tightening control over influencers, digital platforms, and online narratives. From viral claims about mandatory degrees for influencers to the reality behind Beijing’s “code of conduct,” we unpack how digital regulation is used not only to counter misinformation, but also to shape credibility, suppress unwanted topics, and project power at home and abroad.
China analysts Marcin Przychodniak and Daria Impiombato explain how the Chinese party-state manages information through platforms such as Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili, how enforcement has recently intensified, and why China’s approach fundamentally differs from Russian-style disinformation. The episode also explores how positive storytelling, influencer ecosystems, and algorithmic control are used to shape global perceptions of China while maintaining strict domestic oversight.
