WeChat has deleted Prime Minister Scott Morrison response to the Beijing foreign ministry’s inflammatory Twitter post belittling Australian soldiers.

The prime minister, who had previously condemned the post, took to WeChat to distance the actions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from the 1.2 million-strong Chinese Australian community living in the country.
