1. Tweet timings: The tweets from the CCP accounts almost exclusively tweet during "work hours" by Beijing Time.

89% of the tweets were between 7 AM and 5 PM.

For the control group of 58k tweets from 32 accounts in HK & TW, that number was 37%! pic.twitter.com/hbNEAu8j1m

What it means: The average person is expected to tweet in their free time outside work hours. However, the CCP tweeters tweet almost exclusively during work-hours, which indicates that that is possibly their full-time job.
