Research on the Formation Mechanism of Disinformation in Intelligence Games

Abstract

Disinformation, as an important tool in intelligence games, is used by countries as a hidden sword in political struggles, emerging as a new type of weapon in the context of the changing contemporary network environment and the intensifying competition among major powers. It has become a critical element of national security. Investigating the operational logic of disinformation in the digital era aims to help intelligence agencies prevent and mitigate disinformation crises and provide possible solutions for its governance. Based on the perspective of intelligence games, this paper summarizes the components of disinformation, analyzes the characteristics of disinformation in intelligence games, examines the internal logic of its formation in the digital era, and explores strategies for countering the threat posed by disinformation. Disinformation in the context of intelligence games is characterized by its global strategic nature, cognitive misdirection, and technological empowerment. As a special application in intelligence, disinformation follows a four-phase process: Plan, Do, Check, Act, from the generation of misleading content to the accurate dissemination of intelligence products. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes a Chinese strategy to actively confront the threat of disinformation. 126-136 Research on the Formation Mechanism of Disinformation in Intelligence Games 下载 Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
