Chinese embassy calls for Twitter inquiry after porn clip liked

China's UK embassy has asked Twitter to "Make thorough investigations" after its ambassador's official account liked a pornographic clip.

The activity first drew attention after the account liked a 10-second video posted by an adult-themed page containing clips with Chinese-language descriptions.
