On October 24, 2026, the VULONE Team discovered an operational Chinese database titled 民族外宣重点人物信息库 (Key Figures Information Database for Ethnic External Propaganda). Linked to the China Internet Information Center (CIIC) and DeepChina, it held 2,580 records across 103 countries, structured as a 22-column CRM for tracking and countering voices on ethnic issues. The platform was left unencrypted on the public internet.
