China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lijian Zhao posted the fake image on Monday
However it did find "credible evidence" of unlawful killings and a "warrior culture" within elite units. The allegations included that junior soldiers were encouraged to shoot prisoners for their first kill.
Mr Zhao's tweet said: "Shocked by murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers. We strongly condemn such acts, and call for holding them accountable."
Australia has requested Twitter remove the post from its platform, describing it as "disinformation".
Mr Morrison described the post as "truly repugnant, deeply offensive, utterly outrageous".
"The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post. It diminishes them in the world's eyes," he said.
"It is a false image and terrible slur on our defence forces."
