摘要

在这项研究中，我们调查了Twitter上关于2023年1月在美国领空发现的中国气球的在线对话。我们调查了美国、中国和世界其他地区的用户之间的对话。我们还研究了这些对话中机器人和人类账户之间的区别。我们发现，美国的账户将气球称为监视气球，中国的账户关注的是拍摄和移除气球，而世界其他地区的账户则参与了一般性的讨论。在每个地区，机器人和人类账户之间的话题焦点也存在一些差异。

Popping the hood on Chinese balloons: Examining the discourse between U.S. and China-geotagged accounts

In this study, we examined online conversations on Twitter about a Chinese balloon spotted over U.S. airspace in January 2023. We investigated the conversations between U.S.-based, China-based and accounts from the rest of the world. We also studied the difference between bots and human accounts within these conversations. We found that U.S.-based accounts referred to the balloon as a surveillance balloon, China-based accounts focused on the shooting and removal of the balloon, while the rest of the world engaged in general discourse. There were also some differences in the focus of topics between bots and human accounts within each region.
