China is a state, Twitter is a company.
Why is Global Times on Twitter with nearly 2 million followers when this is a Western platform that censors free speech? Get on Weibo or something.

Does Weibo host CNN etc?

Isn't killing 298 people on a passenger plane with an anti-aircraft missile illegally brought into a neighbouring country, you know, a bit... Nazi?
What about attacking a British town with a chemical weapon and killing a local resident?
