China’s embassy in the United Kingdom is calling on Twitter to open an investigation after its ambassador’s official account liked a pornographic clip on the platform earlier this week.
The Twitter account for Ambassador Liu Xiaoming liked several tweets that were later unliked, including a 10-second clip tweeted out by an adult-themed account and several posts criticizing the Chinese Communist Party, according to BBC News. China’s UK embassy maintains that the tweets were liked by a possible hacker who had gained access to the ambassador’s account. However, celebrities and politicians have often blamed hackers when they’re caught up in embarrassing situations.
