Peter Bergen : China has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in its international media network.

He says Beijing is aware that news marked “made in China ’s” doesn’t have anything like influence that local people, using local media, would have if they were uttering the same messages.

For the Russians , the amplification of this narrative matters more than specific arguments about Ukraine .

Frida Ghitis : If you truly hate modern America , you won't mind hearing it denounced by other people who hate it and wish it ill.

She says many Americans hate their own country so much that they might be pleased to hear there are foreigners who want to burn it all down.

Ghitis says the U.S. has a large population of people who look for, absorb, and believe anti-American messages wherever they are found.
