What FACTLY found
The official Twitter handle of Chinese journalist ‘Wang Wenwen’ is ‘@WenwenWang1127’, not ‘@WangChinaR’. So the tweet thanking Rahul Gandhi is not from ‘Wang Wenwen’s’ official Twitter account. Also, in the video in that tweet, Rahul Gandhi hasn’t spoken anything supporting China
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

This claim spread on social media around 18 June 2020. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 19 June 2020, 1 day later. Its rating was “FALSE”.
