The city of Wuhan, in China, will forever be marked in history for having been zone zero of the Covid-19 pandemic, a disease caused by the infection of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. To date, the disease has infected almost 1 million people. people around the world and killed almost 50 thousand of them. Amidst the situation, unfortunately, the population of the Chinese city also had to deal with prejudice. Residents of Wuhan reported suffering prejudice within the country itself. Furthermore, prejudice also reached Orientals who live in other countries, such as Brazil. After much talk about Wuhan, a publication on the internet is committed to changing the city's image. According to a video that is circulating along with the message, contrary to what many people think, Wuhan did not it would be an inland city or any rural area in China. The images show several gigantic and imposing constructions. According to the message, a lot of people would be surprised by the things shown in the video. Check it out: _“We hear people talk all the time about Wuhan due to Covid-19 and we think that whether it is a small town in the interior or any rural area in the China. Take a look at this video and many will be left with their mouths open.”_ ## Video shows wonders of the city of Wuhan, which everyone thinks is a small town? The images were a hit on social media and really impressed a lot of people. people. But does the video really show the real Wuhan, China? THE answer is no! Let's get to the details! To begin with, the message presents several characteristics of online rumors, such as vagueness (does not say what they are called constructions, for example), alarmist, errors in Portuguese and does not mention reliable sources. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic began, China was already a victim of fakes news. The Boatos.org team has already denied several of them, such as the one that said that Chinese people would be sneezing and spitting in elevators and public places to transmit coronavirus. Also the one that pointed out that China would be selling canned human meat infected with the new coronavirus and, finally, the one that indicated that a video would show a food fair with live animals in Wuhan. As in the cases mentioned, there is a distortion of arguments and also of the video. The first is to assume that the entire world population thinks that Wuhan, in China, be it “a little town” in the interior. An article published in the press Brazilian city shows that journalists treat the place like a metropolis. Wuhan has around 11 million inhabitants, that is, almost the same amount of residents of São Paulo (SP). Well, if that were the only detail, our team wouldn't even consider making a denied. However, when analyzing the video, the lie became evident. We realized that the images shown in the video are not from Wuhan, China. We started by analyzing just the first five images and found that none of the recordings are from Wuhan. The content, in fact, shows several Chinese cities. The photo that appears at 0:08 shows the Sunrise Kempinski hotel, which is located in Beijing. The image that appears at 0:16, which shows a waterfall outside a building, was made in the city of Guiyang (more precisely in the Liebian Building). The waterfall is over 100 meters high tall. Meanwhile, the construction that appears at 0:25, which resembles an O, is located in Huzhou and is a park: Taihu Lake Paradise (Paradise of Lake Taihu). The images that appear from 0:34 to 0:54 show the city from Guanzhou, Guangdong province. The building that appears red and also Changing color is the Canton Tower. In short: the story that a video would show the “real” Wuhan to People who believe it to be a “small town” are false! The error already starts in assuming that people think something about Wuhan being small. In a report published in the Brazilian press, journalists report that the city It is a metropolis and has around 11 million inhabitants. Then it gets worse. THE video shows several images that are not even from Wuhan. We check and we found that the first constructions shown in the video are of different places in China. In other words, pure nonsense.
