"also true" is a phrase that really means "is the case as well" (as in the previous sentence).

The first sentence says that "journalists and activists" claim that if a post is written by a "50c party" poster, then it will strongly argue in favor of the Chinese government's side - instead of being more subtle, and maybe not _always_ arguing that China is 100% #1.

The second sentence says that "most posts open accused on social media of being 50c" will strongly argue in favor of the government's side, too.

I read this to mean that posts tagged as "50c" will argue for the Chinese government, and "50c party" posters will argue for the Chinese government, too, so the correspondence between the two is high.

My interpretation could be wrong, but I hope it helps!
