CCP’s script:
//1. Where is the origin of this coronavirus pandemic?
Fort Detrick in America, the largest base for biological weapons
2. What is the source of origin of the virus?
SARS + HIV + others
3. Is the virus naturally occurring or artificially made?
Artificially edited and synthesized
4. Who were involved in the planning, research and experimentation of the virus?
Both American and Chinese teams
5. Was the virus released on purpose or by accident?
Leaked, infected, transmitted and widespread by accident //
Editor’s Note: The Chinese officials and state media shifted blame to the US for the coronavirus pandemic. The incident started with China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, who accused the US Army for bringing the epidemic to Wuhan on Twitter, without any proof. While the world is busy fighting against the coronavirus, China took advantage of the situation and started a disinformation campaign to blame that the US Army has introduced the virus. Chinese medical leaders, ambassadors, spokespersons and media joined the campaign, along with thousands of posts on Chinese social media echoing this false accusation.

Samsung, FILA and Hyundai Have Removed BTS-Related Posts and Ads from Chinese Websites and Social Media after the K-Pop Boy Band’s ‘Controversial’ Speech Outraged Chinese Netizens
Chinese netizens are outraged by BTS, the K-pop boy band global sensation, over the mentioning of the Korean War in an award-acceptance speech earlier. Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Information Department, stated that he was aware of the related reports and the responses from netizens. The South Korean company Samsung has since removed products launched in conjunction with BTS from online stores in China. The car manufacturer Hyundai and the sports brand FILA have also removed posts related to BTS on their Chinese social media accounts.
Samsung has launched a special edition series of mobile phones and earphones with BTS this July. However, the products are no longer available on Chinese shopping websites JD.com, Tmall and Samsung’s official Chinese website after online dispute of BTS arose. Hyundai and FILA, which have invited BTS to endorse their products, have also removed all BTS-related posts from their official Weibo accounts earlier.
When a journalist asked about the Chinese netizens’ outrage on BTS at a regular press conference hosted by Zhao Lijian, he answered, "I am aware of the related reports, as well as the responses from Chinese netizens. We should learn from history, face the future, treasure peace and promote friendship. These are the things that we should pursue together, worthy to strive for together."
During the acceptance speech of the General James A. Van Fleet Award, an award granted to those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of US-Korean relations, BTS’s leader RM said, “We will always remember the history of pain that our two nations shared together, and the sacrifices of the countless men and women.” This single sentence had apparently outraged Chinese netizens, despite the fact that China was not mentioned in the speech at all.

BTS Supporters Counterattack after Chinese Netizens Sniped BTS,
Zhao Lijian Tried to Calm them Down along with the Deletion of the Provocative Report by Global Times
South Korean K-pop boy band BangTan Sonyeondan (BTS) has gained an award for their efforts to promote South Korea-US relations. However, their award-winning speech, relevant to the Korean War, caused dissatisfaction among Chinese netizens and being sniped, such as claiming not to buy the endorsed products. BTS supporters, on the other hand, fought back on social networking sites. A netizen said, “thanks to the 50 Cent Army and the Little Pink, Korea has become anti-communist now!" Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian then showed kindness, saying that "promoting friendship should be our (China and Korea) common pursuit". The Global Times also deleted its reports criticizing BTS. The Director of the Military Affairs Department of South Korea, Moo Jung-woo, responded yesterday (13 October) that the accusations made by Chinese netizens were "uncomfortable." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea also stated that it would remain concerned about the situation.
Earlier, BTS gained the “James A. Van Fleet Award”. A member mentioned in their speeches that "we will always remember the painful history of our two countries and the countless sacrifices made by men and women". As a result, the Chinese netizens criticized BTS for not respecting the Chinese martyrs and not understanding the history of the anti-American war effort.
Global Times published a report on Monday (12 October), stating that "we cannot tolerate anything that involves our national dignity”. Chinese netizens urged not to purchase any BTS-endorsed product. Subsequently, a South Korean company Samsung removed the BTS-endorsed products from its Chinese online stores, and a manufacturer Hyundai and a sports brand FILA also removed BTS-relevant posts from their Chinese social media pages.

Zhao Lijian posts 'Australian Soldier Killing Child' image. Australian PM: fake image insults soldiers, demands an apology.
Australia-China Relations have deteriorated again after the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian posted a picture of an Australian soldier killing an Afghan child on Twitter. The post immediately caused discontent in Australia, with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison calling the fake image offensive and objectionable, and demanding an apology from China.
The image shows a man in military uniform standing on a puzzle of the Australian and Afghan flags with a sabre held to the boy's neck and the words "Don't be afraid, we are coming to bring you peace."
The picture looks quite real, but according to the Australian media, it is actually a satirical painting by the pro-China creator "Wu He Qi Lin". Zhao wrote “Shocked by murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers. call for holding them accountable.” on a Twitter post with the picture.

China Imposes Steep Duties on Australian Wine due to "Trade Violation". Australian Says the Move Deals Major Blow on the Industries
China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) stated that its investigations had revealed that Australian wine exports breached China’s Anti-dumping Regulations, harming the local wine industry. MOFCOM would impose duties on Australian wine importers. Charges increase from 107.1% to 212.1% for the Australian wine in “containers of two litres or less”. The customs authority determined the cost.
Apart from the wine industry, other industries also suffered as a consequence of deteriorating China-Australia relations. China earlier cited “failed to meet environmental standards” as the reason to hold up 82 coal ships and 1,500 cargo crews at Chinese ports, involving AUD 1.1 billion of coal.
China-Australia relations have soured in recent years as both nations made moves at each other on the global stage. Australia has repeatedly criticized China’s human rights policies towards Hong Kong and the Xinjiang Uyghurs. Since the national security law took effect in Hong Kong in early July, Australia has also made available "safe haven" policies for Hongkongers.
The move was not the first undertaken by China to target Australian products. The New York Times editorial opined that one of the key moments that turned China-Australia relations to the worse was when the Australian government made a statement at the start of the year calling for an independent inquiry into the source of COVID-19. China has since then gradually imposed restrictions on Australian imports. The editorial described this move as reflecting a “CCP-style globalization” policy: on the one hand promoting the opening up of countries, while on the other using threats to coerce other countries to follow China’s approach in different matters.
Besides actual trade moves, China has adopted increasingly hard-line expressions in its foreign policy addresses to Australia. The Five Eyes alliance, which Australia is part of, has previously called on China to reconsider their decision on Hong Kong Legislators disqualification, and was rebuked by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian, “No matter if they have five eyes or ten eyes, if they dare harm China's sovereignty, security and development interests, they should beware of their eyes being poked and blinded”

Australian PM's response of 'Australian Army Killing Children' Picture Controversy Censored by Wechat for 'Misleading and Contrary to Objective Facts'
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian caused a diplomatic storm after posted a cartoon satirising killing the Afghan civilians by Australian soldiers on Twitter. On Tuesday (1 December), Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison posted a comment on WeChat in response to Zhao, but was deleted by WeChat, due to "inflammatory, misleading and contrary to objective facts". The incident has also caught international attention, such as New Zealand, France, the United States, the United Kingdom and Taiwan, issuing statements supporting Australia.
Zhao Lijian recently shared a cartoon on the social networking site Twitter, sketching Australian soldiers killing an Afghan child. Morrison criticised China on Monday (30 November) that the fake image is offensive and revolting, and demanded an apology with image removal from China.
Morrison later issued another WeChat commentary, saying that the military crime report allegations were being dealt with in an "honest and transparent" manner, stressing that Australia was dealing with military crimes in the way that "any free, democratic and enlightened country" would. Morrison also said that the diplomatic row between Australia and China would not diminish Australia's respect and appreciation for the Chinese people. Australian media said 57,000 people had clicked to view the comment.

Twitter Bans Trump but Condones China's Propaganda, Netizens Say
Twitter announced on Friday (January 8) that it has permanently blocked Donald Trump's personal account (@realDonaldTrump) with the concerns of the risks of further incitement to violence. The practice has aroused heated debate among netizens, many of whom say that banning speech is a common tactic used by the Chinese Communist Party, criticizing Silicon Valley for turning into the Chinese Communist Party. Twitter has not seen any major action even when Chinese official media and Foreign Ministry spokesperson use the platform to make propaganda or even send out fake news.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying posted a short video about COVID-19 on her Twitter account (@SpokespersonCHN) on Friday (January 8), saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words. Fighting #COVID19, a memory that will not be forgotten.” The video was viewed more than 7,000 times in just two hours, with more than 300 people giving Like and more than 50 comments. Most of the comments praised China for its greatness, happiness for its people and rejuvenation for its nation. Some even thanked China for "leading the world" in the fight against the virus. But Twitter does not put on the fact-check tag in the feed.
Another Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, became notorious last May when his Twitter account (@zlj517) cited a report from the official media Global Times that the U.S. military brought the COVID-19 into China. Twitter added a fact-check tag to it without deleting the post or the Global Times report. In last December, Zhao further antagonized China-Australia relation by uploading a fake picture of an Australian soldier. But his Twitter account is still up and running.

Report Says #China Invites #UN Official to #Xinjiang but Bans Investigating #HumanRights Issues
According to South China Morning Post (#SCMP) on #Jan27 2022, China allows the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to visit Xinjiang after the Winter Olympics; however, China does not allow Bachelet to investigate on human rights violation issues, causing United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (#UNHCR) to postpone their Xinjiang report publication date to after the Olympic Games.
China's Foreign Affairs Minister, #ZhaoLijian, claimed that China's stand is "consistent and clear": "The invitation aims to enhance the interactions and collaborations between the 2 parties. We oppose anyone to take advantage of political manipulation."
Human Rights Watch told #Reuter on #Jan28 that the Chinese government tries to distract the world with the winter Olympics from their inhumane crimes on #Uyghurs and other #Turkistan. They also reminded everyone, especially foreign affairs ministers, not to be fooled.
