Wenhao Ma is a bilingual journalist based in Washington, D.C. He has covered China-linked disinformation, technology, media, censorship, and internet culture since 2022. His reporting has examined Beijing’s efforts to shape public opinion both domestically and abroad through coordinated misinformation and propaganda campaigns. An open-source investigator, he contributed to ChinaFile’s multi-month project analyzing China’s adoption of emerging technologies to strengthen internet censorship, tracking down key documents that detailed how these systems operate. He has a record of breaking stories: he was the first to report on then-Twitter’s removal of restrictions on state media accounts, and he revealed how Google’s AI chatbot echoed Chinese state narratives.
