Summary:
An American who posed as a Hong Kong, Chinese man - who wrote anti-China articles - has been outed by Grayzone. The Grayzone said that Twitter user Kong Tsung-gan first emerged in 2015, with commentaries about the Occupy Movement.

But Blumenthal questioned if people were aware that it was in fact a Chinese persona adopted by an American man. The Standard Unmasked
