Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as this video is from Ahmedabad, Gujarat from August and not China, as claimed.

What we found: We divided the viral video into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them.

• It led us to the same video uploaded by Business Today on 25 August.

• The video's description noted that it showed PM Modi’s mega roadshow in Ahmedabad.

• PM Modi was in the city to launch ₹5,400 crore infra projects at Khodaldham ground.

• We, then, ran a relevant keyword search and found the same video uploaded on 25 August on PM Modi's official YouTube channel.

Google Maps confirmation: We looked for the location of the building structure shown in the viral video and searched for it on Google maps.

• We found the location and found similarities in both visuals.

Here is the comparison between the two frames.

• Additionally, PM Modi visited China between 29 September-1 August, as per the Ministry of External Affairs (MeA).
