China's online astroturf is mostly produced by government workers as "extra duty"

I got a shock the other day when something I posted on another forum (against underestimating China) received a ridiculously large number of upvotes. I guessed that this was because it had been found by Chinese astroturfers.

That’s the last positive thing I post about China, because I really don’t want people thinking my views aren’t my own, or are even being paid for. I’m not a politician.
