An Indian minister offers a “strange reason” for the impossibility of contracting the Coronavirus

China claimed that the account of its ambassador to the United Kingdom, Liu Xiaoming, on the social networking site Twitter, was subjected to a “violent hacking attack” on Wednesday, after his admiration for tweets that included publications critical of the Chinese Communist Party, and a sexual video posted in 2019, according to the newspaper.The Guardian“.

The Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom called on Twitter to conduct a “comprehensive” investigation, and reserved the right to take further measures, after its ambassador’s account liked a pornographic publication.

The Embassy Spokesperson issued the following statement: Recently, some anti-China elements viciously attacked Ambassador Liu Xiaoming’s Twitter account and employed despicable methods to deceive the public. The Chinese Embassy strongly condemns such abominable behaviour. pic.twitter.com/RnBfeZho7O

The likes remained active for at least an hour, before they were widely shared, and hours later the embassy issued a statement condemning the alleged hack.

Twitter is among the many banned social media platforms in China, but its diplomatic missions and staff around the world have active accounts.

Ambassador Liu’s account, which has more than 85,000 followers, publishes news stories from Chinese state media, praising his country’s handling of the Corona pandemic, while rejecting reports on Chinas human rights violations in Xinjiang.
