@Vitaliy_Kiselev please get used to quoting your source. I'm not saying the briefing didn't happen, it's just that if I wanted to pick up this lead and run a story with it, I wouldn't know where to begin. Probably the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which I've no clue how to find.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev so it's a tweet describing the actions of a lower level Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson. Not quite what you packaged it as. The larger issue is QAnon runs with it, and those are untouchables, one can't run a story associating with their beliefs. Also it's "fact-checked" heavily by mainstream media in the US, so once I'd run the story I'd be labelled as peddling disinformation and fake-news. Leaving these externalities aside for a moment, there should be some material proof for it to be a story, otherwise it's just the fog of the information war.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev you're, right, sorry, you spoke of your Russian media source, which I haven't seen, and you provided translation from the original in Russian in the snippet you posted above, whereas the gbnews.uk link speaks of a tweet ABOUT a Chinese spokesman, without naming him. I basically forgot about your text and thought only of the coverage in the British site. There was no ill intent, my attention just slipped.

Regardless, it's not something I can cover, for reasons stated above. I looked into the underlying story, which has actually been running for years, stemming from the US-Ukraine biosecurity treaty. China's statements are basically a chess/Go move on a much larger diplomatic board. My audience, which has the attention span of a goldfish, and consumes morsels of 2-3 sentences coupled with a pic, would be ill served anyway.
