China’s UK embassy has asked Twitter to “make thorough investigations” after its ambassador’s official account liked a pornographic clip.
The activity first drew attention after the account liked a 10-second video posted by an adult-themed page containing clips with Chinese-language descriptions.
The clip was subsequently unliked by whoever was controlling the account.
Some of the social network’s users have suggested the pornographic clip might have been liked by accident and then the others selected as part of a cover story.
A cover story and a distraction from reported number of Muslims being taken to concentration camps to be tortured and killed.
Twitter has yet to comment.
