Original review summary

The review found the stroke claim misleading: the image showed Xi Jinping sipping tea at the National People’s Congress in March, not at the Central Committee meeting on July 18. It reported no evidence confirming that he was ill during the meeting.[S1]

Additional context

The review says Reuters confirmed the first tea-sipping photo was taken by a Reuters journalist, while the second image came from AP. [S1]
