China Railway: Viral "Passenger Drinks Baijiu at Security Check" Claim Is False; She Was Drinking Water for a Video

China Railway: Online Claim “Passenger Drank Baijiu at Security Check” Is False; It Was Water for a Video

IT之家 November 12 news: Recently, a video of “a passenger drinking baijiu at a security check” spread online.

China Railway official today reposted a clarification from the official Weibo of the Fuyang Train Operations Section of Shanghai Railway Administration. After verification, the information is false; the passenger was drinking water, not baijiu, for filming a video.

IT之家 attaches the original notice from the “Shangtie Fuyang Train Operations Section official Weibo” as follows:

Recently, in response to the video information circulating online about “a passenger drinking baijiu at a security check,” our section carried out verification. After verification, this information is false; the passenger was drinking water, not baijiu, for filming a video. The specific situation is: At about 16:45 on November 10, a package carried by a passenger was found by the security scanner at Linquan Station to contain a bottle of unknown liquid. Station security staff, in accordance with regulations, asked the passenger to take it out for inspection and informed her that if it was bulk baijiu, it could not be carried into the station or onto the train. The passenger claimed it was opened baijiu and drank it on the spot; accompanying persons filmed the “drinking” video. During this period, the passenger told station security staff that she was drinking water and drank for the video. Station security staff then checked the remaining liquid in the bottle and did not smell alcohol. Subsequently, the passenger and accompanying persons entered the station and boarded the train. Afterwards, the passenger posted the “drinking” video online, causing the misreading that “a passenger drank baijiu at a security check.” The railway department warmly reminds passengers to observe boarding order, consciously accept station security checks, jointly resist the behavior of self-directed and self-acted fabrication of false videos to chase traffic, and jointly create a safe and orderly travel environment.
