"One lesson of the 2001 Tiananmen incident is that disinformation works if it is not quickly and comprehensively rebutted. It can instill fear and hatred in well‑intentioned people who believe what they see and who lack the tools to distinguish malevolent propaganda from reality. The CCP and other tyrannical governments will continue to use such tactics to sow discord and chaos in the free world if we allow them to do so."
