A rift between Australia and China has deepened after a faked image of an Australian soldier holding a knife to the neck of an Afghan child was posted on a Chinese government Twitter account.

China has accused Australia of trying to “deflect public attention” from alleged war crimes by its soldiers in Afghanistan.
