China is spending billions on many forms of disinformation campaigns in all countries. OpenAI recently identified two clusters of disinformation accounts, as one report says,

• The accounts are likely from a private Chinese company, that used ChatGPT to generate fake pro-American commentary opposing data centers.
• The 'Data Center Bandwagon' group operated from late 2025 to early 2026, posing on X as Americans via VPNs while prompting ChatGPT in Simplified Chinese.
• OpenAI rated the campaigns Category One on its Breakout Scale, meaning they stayed on one platform and generated virtually no authentic engagement.

As much as I dislike OpenAI and its management's attitudes, it's also clear that China is interfering also here. It's common practice for Chinese disinformation campaigners to exploit existing issues to sow division among Western societies for its own gains.
