China’s communist leadership is attempting to interfere in the Nov. 8 U.S. midterm elections by spreading propaganda and disinformation, according to researchers.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is conducting influence campaigns with the apparent intent of increasing political polarization among Americans and damaging the reputations of people running for Congress who have been critical of the regime, according to a report (pdf) published on Oct. 13 by intelligence firm Recorded Future.
