In response to Trump, China gets mean. Chinese diplomats are ditching caution and going for the U.S. jugular on Twitter. U.S. officials say their response will be ‘measured and reasonable.’In his Twitter bio, Chinese diplomat Lijian Zhao says he wants to “spread the voice of China.” That voice apparently has a lot of nasty things to say about the United States.
In tweet barrages, the senior Chinese Foreign Ministry official has described America as “unjust,” “inhumane” and “hypocritical.” He’s gone so far as to slam neighborhood segregation in Washington, D.C., and assert that “racial discrimination, gun violence, violent law enforcement are chronic diseases deeply rooted in U.S. society.”
