According to the European commission, Russia and China have mounted “targeted influence operations and disinformation campaigns in the EU, its neighbourhood and globally.” That marked the first time China has been named by the EU executive body as spreading disinformation. Hua also criticized Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for saying that Australia wouldn't respond to Chinese coercion.

The two countries have been sparring over Australia's calls for an inquiry into the coronavirus pandemic, which Chinese officials see as an attempt to blame Beijing.
