China’s embassy to the United Kingdom has claimed Ambassador Liu Xiaoming’s official Twitter account was hacked, after it ‘liked’ an adult video clip on the social media platform.

The ambassador’s account, which has 85,700 followers, attracted attention on Sept. 9 morning when some users discovered that it ‘liked’ a 10-second video of a sex act, which was posted by an adult-themed Twitter account.
