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of the Bank of China is declaring that people’s savings in their branch are now ‘investment products’ and can’t be withdrawn, according to reports online.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

Abbas seeks peace for Gaza with global leaders; Hamas rejects disarmament, emphasizing self-governance amid ongoing tensions.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has pledged to work with U.S. President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia, France, and the United Nations on a new peace plan for Gaza. He says Gaza is an essential part of Palestine and called on Hamas to hand over control and disarm.

The UN General Assembly recently backed a declaration supporting a two-state solution and an end to the Gaza war. Abbas argued that this plan represents the only way forward to achieve peace and stability in the region.

Hamas, however, dismissed his remarks, vowing to maintain their weapons and self-governance until the occupation ends. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also criticised Abbas, claiming he has failed to deal with terrorism effectively.
