Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying responded to an investigation by American journalist Seymour Hersh by saying that Washington is trying to hide the truth about explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines and spread disinformation, and this is not the first time this has happened, she said on her Twitter.

Washington and those free and professional American and European media are mysteriously silent about Hersh's revelations about North Streams, the Chinese spokeswoman commented.

She wondered whether this is because the Western media has known the truth all along, or because they do not care about it as long as their readers believe the story they are promulgating.

Hua Chunying also noted that the United States did the same thing when it came to the origin of the coronavirus.
