Rumor Eight countries announced that they will not participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games?
Truth: Recently, information about "eight countries announced that they will not participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games" appeared on the Internet, which is actually a complete misreading of Asian geography and sports knowledge.
In fact, the participants in the Asian Games do not refer to Asian countries in the geographical concept, but are members of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). As the organising body of the Asian Games, the Olympic Council of Asia is also the Plenipotentiary Representative to Liaise with the IOC on behalf of Asia. Up to now, the Olympic Council of Asia has a total of 45 members, namely 42 countries in Asia plus 3 regions in mainland China (Chinese Taipei, Chinese Hong Kong, Chinese Macao). According to the announcement of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, all members of the Olympic Council of Asia from 45 countries and regions in Asia have registered to participate in this Asian Games. However, six Asian countries, Turkey, Israel, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Cyprus, are not members of the Olympic Council of Asia so far, so they do not participate in the Asian Games. And five of these six countries have never competed in the Asian competition and are not eligible to participate.
As for the other two countries, Australia and New Zealand, "refused the Asian Games", the reality is that the Hangzhou Asian Games were originally scheduled to open in September 2022, and the two countries were invited to participate in some events, but due to the conflict between the Asian Games schedule and another major event, the 2022 Commonwealth Games scheduled to be held in Birmingham, England, as one of the most important Commonwealth members, Australia and New Zealand could not participate in two major events in the short term, so they pushed off the Asian Games in 2022.

Rumor that Sichuan Yibin Smart Rail caught fire?
Truth: Recently, some netizens posted a video of the so-called "Sichuan Yibin Smart Track Fire" on the Douyin platform, which attracted attention. Investigations by the local network security department and local public security confirmed that the content of the video was false information. In order to gain attention and get traffic, the video publisher Qiu took a video and said that "it's on, it's on, the smart rail is on fire" when he knows that the fire department is conducting drills at the smart rail station. At present, the public security organs criticize, educate, and warn them in accordance with the law. (Source: Sichuan Internet Joint Rumor Debunking Platform, @宜宾网警巡查执法)
Myth "beer belly" is drunk by drinking beer?
Truth: The pot of "beer belly" cannot let the beer carry alone. The root cause of "beer belly" is obesity, not necessarily from drinking beer. Compared to common beverages, beer is not high in calories. In addition, the energy metabolism mode of alcohol is different from protein, fat and carbohydrates, and it is almost not stored in the body as energy, so drinking a small amount of beer will not directly lead to abdominal obesity.
Although beer itself is not the main reason for "beer belly", it does not mean that you can "greedy for a cup". Studies have found that drinking alcohol increases appetite and makes people eat more. Beer with barbecue, crayfish, hot pot and fried chicken will indirectly lead to a rise in calories, which may cause obesity and form a "beer belly" in the long run.
