Twitter temporarily suspended the account of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propagandist after he suggested military retaliation should U.S. fighter jets escort House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on any visit to Taiwan.
Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the CCP’s state-run tabloid Global Times, wrote on China’s Twitter-like Weibo on July 30: “For warning the U.S. military not to escort Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, my Twitter account was locked out. I cannot use it unless I delete that post.”
