>If the IP Genuinely is from Mainland China: The "Smoking Gun" Scenarios
>If, through display of a Chinese flag on 4chan.org, an analyst could provably see that the post originated from a known mainland Chinese IP block, it would be extremely strong evidence. This would point to one of two things:
>A) The "Unprofessional" Leak:
>This would suggest a low-level, poorly trained operative within China made a critical mistake. Instead of using the state-provided and secured method to bypass the GFW (a dedicated VPN or proxy), they posted directly. This would be a massive operational security failure and would be quickly corrected by their handlers if discovered.
>B) The "Bold Message":
>This is a far less likely but theoretically possible scenario. The actor could be intentionally posting from a domestic IP to send a message. It's a form of "trolling" or signaling, essentially saying, "We are so powerful and untouchable that we don't even need to hide our origin." This would be a highly provocative and reckless act, not in line with China's usual doctrine of "plausible deniability."
