No Twitter ‘Fact Check’ Warning on Chinese Official’s Fake Photo of Australian Soldier Beheading Child
Breitbart ^ | 12/01/2020 | Simon Kent

Posted on 12/01/2020 2:41:55 PM PST by xomething

Twitter on Tuesday rejected Canberra’s calls to remove a Beijing official’s gruesome tweet targeting Australian troops, choosing instead to stand with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

As Breitbart News reported, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has demanded Beijing apologize after a top CCP official posted an obviously contrived image on Twitter depicting an Australian soldier with his knife to a child’s throat, appearing to prepare to behead the victim.

Morrison described the post by the official Twitter account of Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian as an “outrageous and disgusting slur” at a virtual news conference in Canberra on Monday.

AFP reports Twitter said it had since marked the tweet as “sensitive,” but added comments on topical political issues or “foreign policy sabre-rattling” by official government accounts were generally not in violation of its rules.

ChiComs think Beijing Biden is in so they’re trying to stir up trouble.

They think they’re in the catbird seat.

Hobbled America + compliant media + subservient big tech = bold China

The script could write itself.

It’s a lamb, not a child.

So the soldier is intent on killing the child, not the lamb? Looks 100% faked to me.

Some folks won’t agree with me, but I think Twitter and
Facebook should be taken down for six months.

Let them think about what direction they want to take after
that.

If it isn’t within the context of the Constitution of the
United States, just end them.

I think China made it purposely look fake so they could say it was just artistic license. But they are mostly trying to divert attention from their much more serious and widespread war crimes.

What a ridiculous photoshop job.

Check out the shadows of the “childs” feet and compare them to the shadows on the “Aussie soldier”.

What a joke.
