💨 Abstract

Canada has accused a popular news account on WeChat, a Chinese social media platform, of spreading false narratives about Prime Minister Mark Carney in an attempt to influence the Canadian election campaign. The account, linked to the Chinese Communist Party, has targeted Carney's experience and credentials in an effort to manipulate Chinese voters. The effort is not expected to affect the course of the April 28 election.
