Report: Beijing unleashed a massive propaganda campaign to redefine democracy
China has unleashed a massive propaganda campaign aimed at recreating democracy in its own image, according to a new report published Tuesday.
China’s entire propaganda system is working at full force in the largest Chinese state-sponsored overt influence campaign to date observed by Recorded Future. The narrative warfare operation, which aims to reshape global definitions of democracy, criticize American democracy, and position China as a democracy itself, has been amplified by nearly every Chinese state-affiliated media

CISA and its partners, through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, are responding to active, widespread exploitation of a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) in Apache’s Log4j software library, versions 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1, known as “Log4Shell” and “Logjam.” Log4j is very broadly used in a variety of consumer and enterprise services, websites, and applications—as well as in operational technology products—to log security and performance information. An unauthenticated remote actor could exploit this vulnerability to take control of an affected system.
