The CNN Tweet on ‘Leaked Chinese Geopolitical Strategy’ Is Fake

Twitter and Facebook users have recently circulated an image purporting to show a screenshot of a CNN (@CNN) official Twitter account’s tweet posted on June 2, 2022. The alleged screenshot claims CNN reported on a leaked Chinese geopolitical strategy document that predicts the collapse of the west.

The alleged tweet reads: “A leaked Chinese geopolitical document reveals China’s self-confidence. The document predicts, ‘The U.S. and Western Europe will collapse due to cultural and demographic conflict by 2050.’ China’s leaders increasingly see multiculturalism as ‘cultural suicide’ and believe the west is dying because of it.”
