>> we were touching on the western countries setting travel restrictions on chinese commuters. travelers, and missed concerns that china is downplaying a covert outbreak. it is exaggerated by the media, it seems, is that true or fake? >> in the last few days a report made by the journalist andy for the shanghai daily has been circulating heavily. it was one of the chinese state medias, only english media outlet. segments of this report has been spread by several anti-vaccine accounts as well as accounts that have been flagged already sharing misinformation. let us take a look at that. if we start with this account, it is named rage against the vaccine so we can see the rhetoric that is being shared on this page.

this is embedded with the report , it had over 377,000 views. this person has gone on to say that this guy in shanghai, that there are no chinese in line at the emergency rooms or people dying on the streets or in crowded hospitals. they want us to believe that the lie in the west is back over to starting again. these are strong words criticizing the western media, we take a look at another account here, this has over 200,000 views and quite heavy, quite heavily circulated. there are no queues at the emergency room or people dying in the streets while three are shown disaster images of china online. if we take a look at the actual video published by andy, it is titled debunking shanghai covid lies, very strongly worded and in this he goes from clinic to clinic to show people essentially that the resurgence of covid in shanghai is greatly

exaggerated. it is dated the 20th of september -- december. we can see here is that he is taking us to these clinics over and over to show us the cues of people are much less than the western media is exaggerating and what is really interesting about this and the reason that this week we have seen is misinforming is that while he is visiting a medical clinic he does exquisitely state that these are called fever clinics and hospitals. he said that on here and he mentions it later on as well, we can see it in english later on, this is a fever clinic. there are a couple of thousand of them set up in china and these are for people with fevers and high temperatures and they are not hospitals, mild symptoms and it is used as an dispensary for people who need medication that can be found at eight pharmacy.

--annot be found ata pharmacy. >> he is wearing his mask, which has to be commended. this is all filmed on the 20th of december. we are in january and their concerns growing internationally about a fresh wave of covid-19. is that affecting things? >> yes. many of the tweets that were shared seem to have not really taken into account the situation that has changed and since the 20th of december, if we take a look at this which was posted a few days before they published the report, shanghai's authority ordered most schools to operate remotely. three days before he claimed that there was nobody lining up outside of the clinics that the spread had already begun. you can look to other journalists to see how things

have changed since that was published. this is published by our correspondent in shanghai and he has called the hospitals overwhelmed and said it was difficult to walk in the corridor. look at this video he posted in the media and he can indeed see that the hospital is strained by patients and family members worryingly sitting in the hospital and interestingly this was posted on december 26 and that is shortly after and he was nobody -- that there was nobody sick with covid-19. this was posted outside of fever clinics for days and starkly different to what andy was showing us outside of the other clinics. if we want to check more recent this is media uploaded just yesterday by a french journalist , he has again reinforced that the emergency departments and the hospitals in china are

massively strained and overwhelmed with coronavirus patients. major changes have been seen since the time that i was published. >> we have eyes and ears on the ground, they say things are overwhelmed i tend to go with their point of view. even if it contradicts others. this is not the first time that andy, journalist, has defended china, isn't it? >> he has been awarded with a government metal from the chinese government and he claims that in his own words he is trying to counter the anti-china narrative. he is complementary of government efforts on his social media. one day after posting the report , he actually did a significant backpedal and claimed that the fever clinics in shanghai are facing sustained pressure admit a surge. that is quite a significant term to what he was claiming to one
