"As the diplomatic fallout continues over the digitally altered war
crimes tweet sent by China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian,
earlier this week, it’s important to note this inflammatory and
offensive post is not an isolated case.

Zhao and other Chinese officials and diplomats have made many outrageous
attacks on Australia and the US in recent years. Zhao himself was
probably best known before this week’s tweet for his official promotion
of a conspiracy theory that the US military was responsible for bringing
the coronavirus to China."
