<p>Lijian tweets consistently and in fact peddles lies relentlessly and even backtracks repeatedly. He even blocks people when confronted. Chinese diplomats across the world have been following in the footsteps of this "pioneer".</p>

<p>Another "wolf warrior", Zha Liyou is the Chinese consul-general in Kolkata. He is a lesser known face who recently made headlines for his outspoken comments when he called the coronavirus a "bad cold". However, after he was confronted, Liyou threatened to eradicate a Twitter user just like the coronavirus.</p>

<p>Zha Liyou's colleagues in New Delhi are slightly more subtle. China's "wolf warrior" Ji Rong, spokesperson in the Chinese embassy in India often lectures the Indian media to course-correct and adhere to the One-China principle.</p>

<p>On bad days, however, Rong goes beyond the scope of diplomatic ambit and calls India's complaints "ridiculous" and "eye-ball catching nonsense".</p>

<p>And then there is Cheng Jingye, China's ambassador to Australia who likes to think of himself as an enforcer of the Dragon's will. He follows "boycott diplomacy". Cheng Jingye threatened Australia with an all-out boycott for demanding a probe into the coronavirus, from wine to beef, he wanted Chinese citizens to boycott everything Australian until the Australian government trembled and obeyed.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In the United Kingdom, China's "wolf warrior" is Ma Hui who is the number-3 at the Chinese embassy in London. Ironically, his twitter ID includes the word "warhorse". Ma Hui lives up to this self-given title. He once described US leaders as despicable and wanted all of China to fight back their so called stupidity.</p>

<p>A growing number of Chinese diplomats are increasingly taking to social media platforms and they fume at every question aimed at China's secrecy, they abuse everytime their country is accused of mismanagement. They also threaten everytime China's narrative is ripped apart.&nbsp;</p>
