Chinese trolls are pretty easy to pick out. I think they must occupy large rooms with a cheerleader with a bullhorn and a little red book.

I have posted many comments on Yahoo News critical of China's immense territorial greed, grand imperialist ambitions and lawlessness at sea, run into many China trolls, and not impressed with them at all. They offer no persuasive arguments on China's lawless behaviors, frequently use vulgar words in broken English to smear China critiques, and further make themselves look like fools and reflect badly on their employer, the Chinese communist party.

Chinese people are slaves, except for the few who run companies, who also have to smooch party members. America is addicted to their cheap products. Thanks Nixon.

I'm glad that doesn't happen here. Yep, awful thankful. Have to sit on my hands to keep from clapping. Propaganda has no place in our form of governance. Glad we don't have to face that crisis. Eat it up America.

Its just Western propaganda countering the Chinese propaganda. But the Chinese blocked everything and the Western propaganda just could not reach the desired audience in China. So we are just wasting time condemning them. Better we look at ourselves why we kept on publish humiliating news against China and recycling them every now and then. Just to amuse ourselves??

Does yahoo deliberately mistake Kiev trolls for Russian trolls? The Ukraine will reunify with Russia within two years but why attribute traits of Ukrainian trolls who flood any discussion of serious political issues with a degree of mindless vapidity or non-argumentative praise or suggestions to people who are capable of having a conversation?

I found out American trolls are 10 times more than Chinese/Russian trolls on any news related to China/Russia, any objections to their opinion are Chinese/Russian paid troll even though they were posted by rational Americans

Can't say about China, but everyone posting in support of Putin The mafia boss or the criminal junta running Russia is either an idiot or a paid troll. It may be understandable for a foreigner, who don't know the situation on the ground in Russia, but for people posting such things from Russia is like praising Nazi while in Auschwitz. The only reasonable explanation is that the guys are indeed: paid trolls.

@Dream why, pray tell me, would i say something against our government, if i saw with my very own eyes what went on in the 80s and 90s, and what we have now? Situation is incomparable. Things were bad in USSR and went worse in pre-Putins Russia. Now i can go to Europe and enjoy the thought that i earn more than 35-40% of people in Europe, i am well-educated, i am free to travel, free to express my thoughts (like, here and now). Certainly there are impoverished people in Russia, but 80% of them live in rural areas and have no access to Internet. Those who do are doing just fine. And you might guess that when i read one thing and then look out of the window and see another thing, i get confused and willing to correct the author and commenters. Trust me, i would not deny some extra money for posting pro-russian comments, but unfortunately it is not happening.

Overwhelming majority of Russians outside of the Moscow Ring road are impoverished and live in the criminal chaos without access to justice, quality education and medicine.

Don't call Kremlin junta "our government". It is not supported by Russian people. Your propaganda fairy tales about "how it became better to live under Putin" are misleading and misrepresent the reality (well, as all propaganda).

I am saying this not for you, of course, but for people, who are reading what you wrote.

Your comments are not "pro-Russian", they are anti-Russian, because they serve to support the criminal junta.

One of America's propaganda machines is about to go bankrupt and wouldn't be worth 2 cents if not for one of it's founders investing $1 billion in Alibaba. Once it's put out of it's misery I'll have to get my propaganda from somewhere else.

The western propaganda machine penetrates deeply in their corporations, media, finance, the UN bodies and their racist mindset.

Chinese propaganda trolls are all over the places on Chinese news comment sections and message board. They are spreading anti-US propaganda, spreading lies of world events, distorting history, spreading anti-democracy propaganda, distracting and diverting chinese citizen's attention from news about government corruption, government inefficient, and government ignorance, pumping up 'nationalism' in name of 'patriotism', mostly anti-US propaganda. Chinese commie is preparing war against US now.
