And here it is: #China is sharing fake news about people in #Italy thanking the Chinese government and singing its national anthem: this is a totally fake news.
Remember that China also said that they donated tons of medical equipment: we have bought them. linkiesta.it/it/article/202…
This is what we have received from #China: is it a big donation or is it a big purchase? I'd say the 2nd.

Still unclear to me the logic of using such weapon since now Russia cannot share its well-known fake news about White Helmets staging the attacks. #Syria#Idlib

Once again, I have to make a THREAD to fight fake news. This time the victims are the @SyriaCivilDef.
Yesterday, a pretty uknown pro-#YPG twitter account tweeted 3 pics saying that White Helmets were destroying a graveyard in Jinderes.
It was not true ofc.
The original source [thanks to @NoorNahas1 and @ryanmofarrell] is a FB page (bit.ly/2JQsWdm) which says that Bahrar Organization and White Helmets were cleaning a graveyard.
This is the position of the graveyard: goo.gl/maps/Vep6KJ7i4… [thanks to @obretix].
