BEIJING— The so-called “Volt Typhoon” cyber threat narrative is a US campaign of misinformation and public opinion manipulation, according to the latest findings of a Chinese investigation.
US intelligence agencies have fabricated and hyped up “cyber threat from China” with an intention to push for the authorization of Section 702 of the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a law that allows warrantless surveillance, and tout more budgets from the US Congress, according to the findings.
A new report by the team revealed that “Volt Typhoon” is a typical misinformation maneuvered by US intelligence agencies and jointly participated in by anti-China US politicians and cybersecurity authorities of the “Five Eyes” countries. On April 19, the US Senate approved the reauthorization with a vote of 60-34. This reauthorization extends the surveillance authority for two more years, allowing the US government to continue collecting communications of non-Americans located outside the country without a warrant.
