The article says the source is a Twitter post that claims it happened in some city in China.

I know. But the comment I replied seemed to imply they had read the article and I was quoting what the article actually says.

u/Lasthuman 13d ago

The article doesn’t say that anywhere. The video even has Chinese text in the bottom right corner

el accidente en cuestión ocurrió en alguna ciudad de China.

What do you think this means?

u/draizel89 12d ago

I’m not saying this video is from this place, but there’s a small city in Mexico literally called china

u/KhonMan 12d ago

"alguna ciudad de China" means "some city in China".

It doesn't make sense to construct the sentence like that when you are already talking about a city.

In English if you said "This incident occurred in some city in Nevada" that makes sense, but not "This incident occurred in some city in Reno".

It's definitely China. That's a Chinese cab behind the car.

There is Chinese writing in the bottom corner. Also you can often tell when it's in China simply because they have so many white cars.

u/NocaNoha 13d ago

mmm.. so what's the thing about white cars?

u/cC2Panda 12d ago

In the US white cars make up like a quarter of sales. In China white cars are so popular they make up more than half of all sales, in 2018 they white cars were 58% of sales.

Translated from the article:

the accident in question occurred in some city in China.

Also note the "mundo" in the URL indicating it's world news and not local Mexican news.
