Twitter has removed one threat tweet by China’s government. The majority of them remain online on Twitter.
Numerous threats from a Communist Chinese account were sent to Twitter by the following: statement, “Pelosi has one foot on the stool of the gallows.” Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump remains banned from Twitter for a supposed risk of inciting violence.
One was removed by Twitter tweetFrom a verified account of a Chinese Communist Party state media worker, at least six threat tweets from the CCP state-media outlet Global Times are still visible on this platform. A July 19th tweet was posted by the Communist Chinese state media outlet. “Editorial” tweet that states: “The noose around the neck of the ‘Taiwan independence’ secessionist forces is tightening, and Pelosi has one foot on the stool of the gallows.” The tweet seemingly violates Twitter’s policiesOn threats
Twitter’s Violent threats policy states, “You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people.” Twitter’s Hateful conduct policy further says, “You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, [or] national origin.”
CCP-tied accounts have issued at least seven threats that appear to violate Twitter’s policies since October 2021, including the “gallows” threat aimed at Pelosi and Taiwan prior to the Speaker of the House’s visit to the region on Tuesday.
Global Times tweeted a threatening video yesterday with a disturbing caption: “The Chinese army will surely eliminate Pelosi’s visit’s consequence through the escalation of military operations. As a result, this will make her dejected and humiliated: Global Times Commentator Hu Xijin#HuSays.”
“The Chinese army, which is fully prepared to handle her possible visit to Taiwan, will surely eliminate her visit’s consequence through the escalation of military operations,” Hu said in the video. “This is a good timing [sic] for us to punish external supporters of ‘Taiwan independence’ and demonstrate China’s resolution. Hopefully her punishment will act as a deterrent to others.”
Pelosi was directly threatened by the Global Times in yet another attack from this source another tweet. The Communist Chinese outlet tweeted that the CCP would “boost the price she has to pay.”
Threats have been being tweeted by the outlet for several days. Global Times tweeted last Thursday, “#Opinion: China’s remarks on countering #Pelosi’s possible visit to #Taiwan shows highest level of warning. Every option, military or not, is on the table. It’s crucial to accurately understand China’s remarks and avoid misunderstandings.”
The tweet’s linked article threatened “the use of military force” against the U.S., warning, “If the US insists on going its own way, the Chinese military will never sit idly by.” The tweet with the article remains on Twitter as of the publication of this article.
Global Times is known for tweeting violent threats.
Twitter has removed one threat. “If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion,” Hu Xijin, a commentator for the Chinese Communist Party’s state media Global Times, tweeted Friday. “The PLA [People’s Liberation Army] has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down.” The tweet was responding to reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-CA), visiting Taiwan.
Twitter’s removal of Hu’s tweet Friday follows a report July 29 by MRC Free Speech America on that threat.
“Since Taiwan authorities are preparing for war, let’s see whether Australia is willing to accompany Taiwan separatist regime to become cannon fodder,” Global Times tweeted2020.
Soon after, Global Times also threatened to “wipe them out,” referring to any U.S. troops potentially attempting to defend Taiwan from CCP invasion. Twitter continues to allow both of these threats uncensored.
