Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As China's military and economic power has grown, so too has its investment in propaganda and influence operations. China sees the Global South as an important vector for enhancing discourse power and has deployed a number of tactics to disseminate Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-approved narratives there. The logic behind this strategy is that, as China has begun to take a more active role in global affairs, Beijing has seen the need to address the potential for collective mobilization in response to its behavior. The first section of this report will provide an overview of Chinese discourse power operations, including its origins and aims. The second section is comprised of three regional subsections that focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, respectively. The third and final section of this report synthesizes trends and themes, offering a preliminary assessment of their potential implications and impact.
