The report refers to Chinese Communist Party media accounts on Douyin that have published videos repeating a Global Times headline published on September 8 that suggests the CPC's platform would lead China to break off relations with Canada. It refers to a Douyin account involving another CCP media outlet.
Very clearly, the report establishes that this disinformation was being shared by CCP-controlled media accounts in the same way that the August 9 statement makes this clear. With respect to MP Chong, one-third of the accounts through which the disinformation was shared were on state media accounts.
Again, I'm not following how it's possible in light of that, but there was a distinction made between August 9 versus back in October 18, 2021. I would put it to you that what changed is that this interference on the part of Beijing became public because of whistle-blowers and because of media reports putting pressure on the government to be more transparent—not sufficiently transparent, but more transparent—than the previous approach, which was to cover this interference activity up.
