Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian last year tweeted a digitally altered image that appeared to show an Australian soldier threatening to slit the throat of an Afghan child, which drew stern condemnation from Australia as "repugnant".

Xi said China is willing to strengthen anti-pandemic cooperation with India, and provide support and help to the country, Xinhua news agency reported. This comes after Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday sent a message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and offered cooperation in dealing with the situation created by COVID-19. ![]() The posts were slammed even by Hu Xijin, the Editor in Chief of the Global Times, a state-run newspaper known for its nationalist stance"I don't think it's proper for social media accounts of certain Chinese official institutions or other influential forces to mock India at present," he said.ĬNN reported that the post was later removed from Weibo after the online backlash. "How can this be approved (by censors)? It's a complete disrespect of human life," said another user.

Last week, the Chinese embassy in Tokyo posted an anti-American and antisemitic meme. The despicable social media posts are part of China’s newly unleashed propaganda and smear campaign against perceived foes. Beijing considers it an ‘Indo-Pacific NATO,’ akin to the Western coalition forged to contain the Soviet-Communist expansionism after WWII. Under former President Donald Trump’s watch, India deepened its participation in the U.S.-led Asia Pacific alliance, also known as the Quad. It ought to rethink its return to strategic autonomy,” the Chinese Communist Party-run newspaper Global Times wrote in its last week’s editorial.Ĭhina is angered by India’s growing defense and geostrategic ties with the United States. “India should reflect on the course of its pro-US diplomacy over the years. Last May, the Chinese military attacked India along the shared Himalayan border and occupied a strategic valley in the Kashmir region.Ĭhina has told India to reverse “pro-US diplomacy” in the wake of the Wuhan virus resurgence. The outrageous Chinese official posts come against the backdrop of growing military hostilities between the two countries.
