-Domestic research team, research on public opinion in Korea-China competitive industries
-More than 77 Naver accounts believed to be Chinese were found
Research results have shown that in industries where competition with China is fierce, such as electric vehicles, batteries, smartphones, and e-commerce, China has systematically left comments disparaging Korean technology through a kind of ‘comment unit’.
On the 29th, the research team of Kim Eun-young, a professor of police administration at Catholic Kwandong University, and Hong Seok-hoon, a professor of international relations at Changwon National University, announced the results of this study through a report titled ‘Understanding the status of cognitive warfare in the competitive industry between Korea and China.’
According to the report, the research team searched keywords in competitive industries between Korea and China (Ali, Temu, electric vehicles, Hyundai Motors, batteries, Samsung) on online platforms such as Naver, YouTube, and Nate for about a year from June last year to August this year, with a high possibility of Chinese comment intervention. , Xiaomi, etc.) and searched for articles and examined comments. We found suspicious Chinese accounts by applying 10 identification criteria, including Chinese ID and profile characteristics, Chinese language habits, and suspicion of machine writing, and collected and analyzed all of their comments, focusing on Naver, where comment history can be secured.
The research team said that as a result of randomly collecting and analyzing 70 keyword-focused articles from Naver, more than 77 accounts presumed to be Chinese were found among the comments. In addition, it was revealed that the accounts were organically connected by following each other, and that they were divided into two groups and were commenting on articles related to domestic industries. Professor Kim said, “In the case of accounts suspected to be Korean, the frequency was not uniform, with some posting comments or not depending on the article, while accounts suspected to be Chinese showed an abnormal distribution, such as all commenting on articles with specific keywords at the same time. “He said.
The research team also revealed examples of comments from suspicious accounts through the report. In articles related to electric vehicles, there were repeated comments such as, “You should drive a Chinese car once. Look at the ugly car. You need to be a little nervous.” “I vote for the Hyundai car to fail within 10 years.” In an e-commerce article, “Is Coupang a domestic company?” “Isn’t it all made in China (anyway)?” There were comments such as:
The research team found 239 presumed Chinese accounts on YouTube, and found that organized public opinion agitation was being carried out at the highest frequency. In order to respond to China’s comment strategy, the report suggested that systematic profiling indicators and systems for suspicious Chinese accounts should be established.
