Besides President Xi Jinping, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian may be the official most familiar to many Australians.
With over 1.9 million followers on Twitter, the 50-year-old is known for his vicious attacks against the West, once posting a graphic of an Australian soldier holding a bloodied knife to the throat of an Afghan child in November 2020.
The post was referring to the Brereton report that found Australian special forces committed at least 39 unlawful killings during the Afghanistan war.
