This report is Confirmed false
and is of
Medium Priority.
Here is why -
This Twitter message includes a still image of the opening casting screen which features the official logo of Sirasa TV’s news-casting, “Newsfirst”, and its official motto scripted in Chinese letters, along with two other photographs of the Chinese president and the official logo displaying Sino-Sri Lankan bilateral fellowship. A technical test into this Twitter message revealed that it has been distorted with an official Twitter message that was tweeted on the official Twitter page of the Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka, dated May 21, 2021. It was revealed that the original post did not carry any image related to Sirasa TV news-casting with Chinese-lettered phrases but included an image of vaccine doses in the background and a flight that belongs to Sri Lankan Airlines along with the rest of the two images.Conclusively, the Twitter message displayed here is confirmed as manipulated and that the Chinese Embassy of Sri Lanka has not published a note praising Sirasa TV for promoting the Chinese language and the tweet is misleading
