At the so-called third Summit for Democracy in Seoul, discussions around the theme of 'democracy vs. authoritarianism' sparked controversy. Chinese officials and state media have countered U.S. claims, arguing that the narrative of China spreading disinformation is itself disinformation. They assert that the United States, accused by the CCP of misleading the world and having a credibility deficit, especially in the context of Covid and its aftermath, is the primary source and disseminator of disinformation globally. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking at the summit, accused China of distorting the global information environment, invoking the 'Iron Law of Woke Projection'. This exchange underscores the deepening rift between the U.S. and China on issues of global information and governance.

The CCP invented and perfected the Iron Law of Woke Projection Not sure how the spokesperson of the foreign ministry can say the US “misleads the world and has a credibility deficit” as if we all didn’t just live through Covid and its aftermath https://t.co/fN4oebOiNg
#CGTNOpinion U.S., not China, is the master of disinformation https://t.co/zml7WZQs00
“Democracy vs. authoritarianism”, hyped up at the so-called “summit for democracy”, is a false narrative. The claim that China is spreading disinformation is in itself disinformation. People can see clearly that the US is the world’s biggest source and peddler of disinformation. https://t.co/AEhlWquSms
