  1. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorised the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former US officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.

The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.
