Why Trump should have two Twitter accounts

The Chinese need to do better to counter misleading tweets from US President Trump’s Twitter propaganda machine, say China academics Li Yongning and Wen Jiandong.

Some of his questionable tweets have likely contributed to the deterioration of people-to-people relations between the US and China.
