China has more. They have enough that this is a drop in the bucket. While they might be as blatant and ineffective as Russia by interfering with an election, they want a low profile and to maximize capture of revenue, so they are more about making money than trying to put feces on the face of the American political process.

You people should pick your battles. It would help if you knew the battlefield first.

I am so glad you know more than the UK, EU, US etc governments who have identified Russia as the primary source of instability for elections.

And since when has this been an either/or scenario. You can focus on both Russia and China.

How about this idea: what if the Russian bots aren't actually Russian? How has no one considered this possibility?

Yes they have considered it. And they have identified they are Russian.

You really think governments wouldn't have checked this ?
