[Purpose/Significance] Disinformation refers to the atmosphere of uncertain information that influences or misleads others in making decisions by disseminating information that is intertwined with truth and falsehood. By quantitatively analyzing EU disinformation reports, this article aims to explore the research themes and focuses, summarize governance experiences and obstacles. Finally, based on China’s national conditions and EU’s governance practice, it proposes a Chinese style approach to deal with disinformation. [Method/Process] Using policy reports from various EU institutions on disinformation from 2018 to present, released on the website of EU Publications Office, as the core corpus, and the solution developed by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace for EU disinformation as a supplement, the LDA topic model was used to calculate topic popularity and threshold, analyze hot topics, and explain the evolution of topics. [Result/Conclusion] Through the LDA model, a total of 8 EU disinformation related topics are excavated, and 3 hot topics are identified. The study finds that the EU disinformation policy and governance begins with the definition of disinformation. The research focus gradually shifts to the audience of disinformation and democracy and freedom issues in the technology governance. At the same time, measures such as changing platform advertising revenue channels, supporting factual verification work, and popularizing media literacy education are explored, achieving good governance results. However, there are also limitations in passive governance, lack of data access plans, and specialized resources.
