Google's Threat Analysis Group has burned more than 50,000 spammy fake news stories and other content posted by the pro-China 'Dragonbridge' gang.

Meta and Twitter have also removed fake content from China that looks and sounds very similar to Dragonbridge's efforts.

Despite pumping out a ton of fake content, Dragonbridge has captured little attention.

Whatever Dragonbridge lacks in terms of audience recruitment success, , the group makes up for it with persistence and adaptability, according to Google.

"For this reason, TAG and Mandiant track Dragonbridge closely and Google has taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing their content."

"In 2022, Google removed Dragonbridge content on topics such as US Covid-19 response, racial inequality, political divisions, inflation, and other controversial topics," Butler and Taege wrote.
