ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): A fake account on X ‘China in English’, pretending to be China-based, is spreading false news to create sensationalism and confusion amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
The account’s location is traced to West Asia, suggesting it may be run from Israel or another country in the region.
Several mainstream news channels and officials have inadvertently reported and circulated this fake news.
Authorities urge the public to be cautious and rely only on verified official accounts to avoid falling prey to disinformation.
The goal of such fake accounts is to create volatility in an already fragile environment, potentially triggering unintended retaliation.
