A pro-China online influence campaign is seeking to discredit the United States’ democracy and discourage citizens from voting in the upcoming midterm elections, according to cybersecurity researchers.The influence campaign, dubbed DRAGONBRIDGE, aims to “sow division both between the US and its allies and within the US political system itself”, including by casting doubt on the effectiveness of voting, US cybersecurity firm Mandiant said in a report released on Wednesday.Among other activities, the group has disseminated an English-language video that suggests voting is not “the solution to America’s ills”, US legislators are not productive and the legislative process has no meaningful effect on Americans’ lives, according to the report.
