We talk a lot about weapons. Missiles. Hypersonics. Drones. AI kill-chains.
But what if the most dangerous battlefield is the one we never see?
This week on Hangar 51 Files, we take you inside the silent front of 21st-century warfare. Not cyberspace. Not outer space. But the narrative space—where China has been quietly building dominance for decades.
This is 话语权 (huàyǔ quán), Beijing’s strategy to control global discourse—and with it, the perceptions that shape diplomacy, economics, and even war.
From TikTok feeds to Hollywood edits, from Africa’s state newsrooms to Ivy League campuses, this isn’t a cultural quirk—it’s geopolitical warfare through storytelling.
🎙 In this episode:
How China operationalises narrative power through AI, social media, and state-backed platforms
The export of censorship and the chilling effect on Western brands, academics, and journalists
Diaspora influence, media capture, and the weaponisation of history
The subtle architecture of psychological shaping, algorithmic manipulation, and “truth flooding”
Why the West keeps getting China wrong—and how much longer we can afford to
