New Type of CCP Propaganda?

A Reddit user raised concerns about a potential Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda campaign utilizing AI-generated videos. The user highlighted a YouTube channel that, while seemingly focused on healthy aging, primarily features political content.

What happened

The user noted the channel's use of AI-generated people and poor lip-syncing, suggesting the use of deepfake technology to promote CCP narratives. They also pointed to another channel followed by their parents, which is owned by Want Want China Times, a company that has faced accusations of close links to the CCP and has received subsidies from the Chinese government. The user sought advice on how to address their parents' consumption of this type of content.
