Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Washington is fabricating and spreading false information about other countries.
Jian commented on an investigation published by Reuters, according to which the US Defence Ministry conducted a social media campaign to discredit China’s coronavirus vaccine.
“We hope the US will correct its mentality, assume the responsibility of a major power and stop fabricating and spreading false information against other countries,” Jian said, according to RIA Novosti.
According to her, defaming the image of other states is a “consistent practice” of Washington.
The Reuters piece suggested that the Pentagon was waging a secret social media campaign against China’s Sinovac vaccine.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund also drew attention to the reports. According to its CEO Kirill Dmitriev, information attacks were also conducted against “Sputnik” vaccines.
