US accuses China, Russia of coordinating on virus conspiracies

The United States on Friday accused China and Russia of stepping up cooperation to spread false narratives over the coronavirus pandemic, saying Beijing was increasingly adopting techniques honed by Moscow.

China outraged the United States when a foreign ministry spokesman tweeted a conspiracy that the US military brought the virus to Wuhan, but the two countries reached an informal rhetorical truce in late March after telephone talks between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping. China's ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, recently bemoaned what he said was an effort to brand"objective facts as disinformation and propaganda."

Russia"opposes the attempts by some forces to use the epidemic as a pretext to blame China and will stand firmly by China's side," Putin told him, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency. She said China was first observed using such online methods to"sow political discord" in its autonomous territory of Hong Kong, which has witnessed major pro-democracy demonstrations.
