Beijing’s GoLaxy, once a quiet analytics firm, has emerged as the forefront of a new era in state propaganda. Armed with AI tools and cloaked in the guise of sentiment‑tracking, it’s become a cold, efficient engine for influence. Fast facts only:
In August 2025, leaked internal documents revealed GoLaxy runs a “Smart Propaganda System” (nicknamed GoPro) that harvests millions of posts daily from platforms like Weibo, Facebook, and X to build profiles on 117 U.S. lawmakers. It generates tailored narratives in real time, adapting instantly as events unfold.
Its operations are already active in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where GoLaxy suppresses dissent, counters criticism of Chinese state policies (such as Zero‑COVID or the National Security Law), and has even interfered in Taiwan’s 2024 election discourse.
Founded by a state‑run scientific institution and backed by Sugon, a U.S.‑blacklisted supercomputing company. The firm publicly denies government direction or psychological profiling. Yet the evidence points to deep links with Beijing’s Ministry of State Security.
What makes this threat truly new and perilous? Unlike past tools and manual troll farms. GoLaxy’s AI is automated, deeply personalized, and weaponized with uncanny precision. Imagine a silent tide of persuasion, adapting, refining, undetectable until its force has reshaped the shore. That’s the leap in capability.
Why GoLaxy Alarms Experts
Speed: GoLaxy’s AI operates in real time. It can instantly react to news, events, or trends faster than any human-controlled troll farm ever could.
Scale: It monitors and targets audiences across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., including U.S. lawmakers, Hong Kong activists, and Taiwanese voters.
Stealth: The propaganda is tailored and subtle. It looks like regular online content—comments, posts, or memes but is carefully crafted to influence opinion without being noticed.
Innovation: This is not the old playbook of bots and trolls. It’s automated, AI-driven, and far more adaptive making it harder to track, trace, or stop.
