Project #1: Beijing’s Social Media Diplomacy
Track the websites, social media accounts of PRC embassies in each of the 50 countries in Europe (EUR), as well as pro-PRC YouTube accounts that boost the PRC's narratives, particularly related to COVID vaccines. Monitor PRC engagement efforts, narratives vis-à-vis China's messaging campaigns, and high-level meetings and visits. Compile weekly reports for the Regional China Officer synthesizing this information, evaluating the success of China’s influence strategies, and analyzing key regional trends. This project is perfect for students interested in China’s influence in the (dis)information and media space.
