Narrative<\/h3>\n
Pro-Chinese narratives revolve around the humanitarian help provided by China to Moldova. However, it is relevant to mention that pro-Chinese narrative inserts pro-Russian elements. Even though China is the provider of humanitarian aid, it is Russia that facilitated the transportation<\/a> of this cargo to the Republic of Moldova. It should be noted that the pro-Chinese narratives in the region are part of China\u2019s campaign to improve its image worldwide.<\/p>\n

Dissemination<\/h3>\n
Pro-Chinese propaganda at the state and media level is managed by the President of the country and Pro-Russian media outlets.<\/p>\n
Pro-Kremlin media<\/em><\/p>\n
Sputnik.md has published a set of articles on the aid provided by China to the Republic of Moldova on the Russian airplane. The narrative mainly describes a consolidated collaboration between the countries. At the same time, pro-Russian media is a channel for the Chinese Embassy to express their messages. Thus, an article<\/a> on Sputnik.md expressed the indignation of the Chinese Embassy with the fact that officials of several countries, Moldova included, affirmed that the humanitarian aid is part of the Chinese political propaganda.<\/p>\n

Pro-government media<\/em><\/p>\n
Pro-government socialist media highlights Chinese humanitarian aid in a local manner. The mayor of the capital, Chisinau, who is also the member of the Socialist party, received help ( 5000 masks that would be distributed to medical institutions within the city) from the Chinese company Huawei \u2013 an event that has been covered<\/a> by the Accent TV party-controlled outlet. They also help shape the views by promoting surveys<\/a> which state that citizens consider China, EU and Russia to be the main partners of the country in the fight against coronavirus.<\/p>\n

State actors<\/em><\/p>\n
As can be inferred from the social media activity of the President of the Republic of Moldova, he is trying to promote Chinese help on his official social media page. His posts are usually bilingual and accompanied with impactful and suggestive images. He has regularly thanked China and the Chinese Embassy for the support provided in the fight against coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Target group<\/h3>\n
Pro-Chinese propaganda targets both Russian and Romanian-speaking audience. It is also appealing for the Party of Socialists electorate and the pro-Russian audience, especially in the narratives that insert Russia\u2019s contribution in facilitating the relationship between China and Moldova.<\/p>\n
Disproof<\/h3>\n
China is one among many countries that provided considerable support to the Republic of Moldova in the fight against coronavirus. For instance, the European Union has allocated<\/a> to the Republic of Moldova 87 million euros to overcome the crisis, which supplement the funds totaling 140 million euros, which were allocated by the EU to all Eastern Partnership countries in the regional assistance program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
