Via AFP newswire story on Yahoo! News:
The Chinese government has started using "cyber-agents" to spread positive political messages on the Internet and better control public opinion, state media reported.
Several cities have set up special "online propaganda troops" who pose as ordinary Internet users in chatrooms and other cyber-forums as they spread favorable spin for the government, the Southern Weekend newspaper said.
