Chinese authorities were confused by the move, foreign minisry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular briefing.
On Thursday, Twitter said it locked the account over a message that defended China's policies in its far western region of Xinjiang, saying it had violated the U.S. firm's policy against "dehumanization".
