The United States on Friday accused China and Russia of stepping up cooperation to spread false narratives over the coronavirus pandemic, saying Beijing was increasingly adopting techniques honed by Moscow.
China outraged the United States when a foreign ministry spokesman tweeted a conspiracy that the US military brought the virus to Wuhan, but the two countries reached an informal rhetorical truce in late March after telephone talks between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping. China’s ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, recently bemoaned what he said was an effort to brand “objective facts as disinformation and propaganda.”
“Beijing is adapting in real time and increasingly using techniques that have long been employed by Moscow,“ Gabrielle said.She said that official Chinese diplomatic Twitter accounts suddenly witnessed a surge in late March, going from adding around 30 new followers daily to more than 720, often from freshly created accounts.
