I am surprised you did not state the source of the Xi Jinping story, and its amplification by the Republic news in India, which has more then 4 million subscribers. You did however show Cyrus Janssen who named the source of the fake story, but mentioned nothing about this source. Why?

@Dani-Ami what in fact happened was that a woman tweeted about it along with an unidentified column of military vehicles (could have been anywhere at any time), on Twitter, which was picked up by Republican News in India, who soon spread the story (unverified). Logic said Xi Jinping had just returned from Uzbekistan, and with the rules in China, had to go into quarantine for one week, thus was not sighted. Call this using an opportune time to spread disinformation, which according to Twitter is disallowed. It also says a lot about Indian Media, who also did not fact check.
