The Diplomat: China’s disinformation campaign

In a feature article for The Diplomat, UC faculty member Gregory Winger writes that “China’s embrace of foreign influence operations marks an important evolution in its cyber statecraft.” 

Winger is an assistant professor of political science and fellow at the Center for Cyber Strategy and Policy (CCSP) at UC and a fellow with the National Asia Research Program. He has authored several works on these subjects in publications such as Foreign Affairs, Diplomacy & Statecraft, and Armed Forces & Society. 

Winger specializes in cyber security, international security, and U.S. foreign policy. His research examines trust-building processes and in particular how collaborative activities, like defense diplomacy, have been used to facility cooperation on emerging security issues.  Specifically, Dr. Winger has done significant work on how these actives were used to support American alliances in Asia.
