The Global Times has reported that German researcher Adrian Zenz and a think tank -- Australian Strategic Policy Institute -- will be sued for spreading 'disinformation about China'.

The write-up was published on the same day when Donald Trump took to twitter to call Stone's sentence a result of a 'witch hunt'.
