WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Australia’s prime minister said Monday that a Chinese official’s tweet showing a fake image of an Australian soldier appearing to slit a child’s throat was “truly repugnant” and merits an apology.

China said there would be no apology.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he was seeking an apology from the Chinese government after Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, posted the graphic image that shows a grinning soldier holding a bloodied knife to the throat of a veiled child, who is holding a lamb.

TWITTER SLAMMED FOR NOT ACTING ON CHINESE MEDIA TWEET ALLEGING COVID-19 CAME FROM 'IMPORTED FROZEN FOOD'.

“What Australia should do is to reflect deeply, bring the perpetrators to justice, make a formal apology to the Afghan people, and solemnly promise to the international community that they will never commit such terrible crimes again,” Hua said.

Zhao's account comes with a Twitter label stating that it's a Chinese government account.
