A video showing tanks lined up on a road in China has shocked the internet

With over 2 million views, it’s a video showing tanks on the streets in China, that are out to protect the banks.

allegedly, the Henan branch of the Bank of China is declaring that people’s savings in their branch are now ‘investment products’ and can’t be withdrawn, according to reports online.

Ticker NEWS reported this alongside other publishers who sourced this information from social media users and dozens of online publishers.

However, it has been revealed the viral video was falsely claiming a video of military tanks lined up on a street shows the Chinese government protecting banks from angry protesters.

As the camera pans, the tank queue is seen covering the entire block.

This was part of a military exercise that took place in Rizhao, a city along the Shandong coastline.

A staff member at the Ji Hotel’s reception desk confirmed to an Associated Press reporter that the tanks did drive past on July 17, as part of a military exercise that happens every year. She said it was not linked to any bank protests.

This article was updated from ‘China uses tanks to stop people getting their own money from bank’ as part of the publisher’s commitment to fact-checking misinformation due to online social media posts.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
