Disinformation Campaign by Pakistan media

Pakistanis behind ‘Chinese’ info war on border stand-off

Context

Several of the Chinese accounts that show up on social media and spread false information about the border clash with India have been traced to Pakistan.
Many of the Pakistani accounts posed as China-based, in what is believed to be a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at India.
Some of these accounts even had user bios that were earlier in Urdu, before morphing overnight into Mandarin.
These accounts shared false information about casualties from the clash. Tweeting in Mandarin and using Chinese names gave the posts a sense of credibility.
Pakistani accounts have also recently adopted Nepali and Sri Lankan avatars with the same motivation of posting information aimed at creating an unfavourable narrative about India.
