Forward: How the CCP Divides Dissidents
Forward @harvardjohnson5741 I have followed these mentioned channels separately, but I didn't expect that the bloggers of these channels know each other privately and are in a group. However, this situation is a bit worrying because the focus of these channels is on differing political views and they have many sharp criticisms of the situation in China, which the authorities dislike and do not wish to see. They will certainly use various means to undermine the influence of these channels, eventually forcing them to close. One of the possible methods to achieve this is to divide and disintegrate them from within the channel community, just as the CCP divided and disintegrated overseas pro-democracy organizations after the June Fourth. By creating contradictions and splits internally and conducting smear campaigns externally, these tactics require someone to collaborate from within the group, so first, agents must be planted into the group. The most common method of infiltration is to send people to join the group by pretending to be like-minded individuals. These people will occasionally reveal information that others do not know to win trust, and some will exhibit more radical positions to mislead others. Then, they will gradually express differing views within the group, form cliques, and cause division and disintegration. Sometimes, they perform outrageous acts under plausible pretexts to intentionally create a bad impression of the group in the public eye, and so on. Once these channels begin to attack each other for whatever reason, it means these tactics have already begun to take effect. The enemy is hidden within the group.
