SHANGHAI:
Twitter reported a tweet written in March by a Chinese government spokesperson which suggested that the US military has brought the new coronavirus to China, while the social media platform is speeding up the fact-checking of publications.
Twitter posted a blue exclamation mark in a tweet from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, with a comment urging readers to check the facts regarding COVID-19.
“When did the zero patient start in the United States? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It could have been the United States military that brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! public data! The US owes us an explanation! ” Zhao wrote on March 12.

Twitter verified US President Donald Trump for the first time on Tuesday regarding his allegations regarding the postal ballots, as part of what he said was an extension of a “misleading information policy” aimed at fight against disinformation about COVID-19.
Trump lambasted Twitter in response and said he would introduce legislation that could remove or weaken a law that protects social media companies from liability for content posted by their users.
