India Blocks China's Xinhua News Agency on X... ... India Returns To New Normal

In a significant digital crackdown, India has blocked the X (formerly Twitter) account of China's state-run Xinhua News Agency, days after taking similar action against the Global Times. The move comes amid heightened tensions following Operation Sindoor, India's precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. Indian authorities cited the dissemination of unverified and potentially misleading claims by these outlets, particularly narratives favoring Pakistan during the recent military conflict. The Indian Embassy in China had earlier cautioned the Global Times to verify facts before publishing, emphasizing the responsibility of media outlets to uphold journalistic ethics.
