Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s WeChat profile has been “sold” to a Chinese businessperson following revelations the Australian leader’s social media team lost control of his account earlier this month.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the account’s name was changed from “Scott Morrison” to “Australian Chinese New Lifestyle.” A search on WeChat for an account under the name “Scott Morrison” by The Epoch Times also yielded no results.
