A Chinese diplomat in Northern Ireland uploaded a video to social media on Monday morning that inaccurately claimed a partially Korean-engineered bridge in Turkey withstood the recent devastating earthquake thanks to Chinese technology.
The now-deleted video, uploaded to the Twitter account of Consul General Zhang Meifang in Belfast, displayed aerial footage of the 1915 Canakkale Bridge as it was under construction, describing it in an overlying caption in Chinese as “the world’s largest suspension bridge” and claiming “a subsidiary of Shudao Group is the sole participant in the construction.”
In an English caption accompanying the video, Zhang wrote, “The bridge built by China in Turkey’s withstood the earthquake #ChinaTech.”
一名中国驻北爱尔兰外交官21日上午向社交媒体上传了一段视频，内容不准确，称土耳其一座部分由韩国工程建造的桥梁由于中国的技术而经受住了最近的地震。
这段视频上传到张美芳驻贝尔法斯特总领事Twitter微博上，播放了1915年卡纳卡莱大桥施工时的空中画面，用中文将其描述为”世界上最大的吊桥”，并声称”舒道集团的一家子公司是唯一参与建造者。在兴建中。」
在视频的英文字幕中，张写到，”中国在土耳其建造的桥梁抵御了地震#中国科技”。
