  • What was claimed Germany has sent a bill to China for “coronavirus damages”. Our verdict Incorrect. A German newspaper drew up a mock bill but the German government has not sent a bill, as suggested. Germany has sent a bill to China for “coronavirus damages”. Incorrect. A German newspaper drew up a mock bill but the German government has not sent a bill, as suggested. “Germany sends China £130billion bill for 'coronavirus damages'.” Daily Express, 20 April 2020 An article on the Daily Express website claiming that “Germany” has sent a bill of £130 billion to China for “coronavirus damages” contains several inaccuracies suggesting the German government sent the bill. As well as referring to Germany sending the bill in the headline, the article subheading says Berlin issued the invoice, the piece uses a photo of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and it puts her name in the url. The bill was actually mocked up by Germany’s largest newspaper, Bild, which assessed the “damages” to its economy from the virus to total €149 billion (£130 billion). The Express does say in the first paragraph that the bill was drawn up by a “major newspaper”, but the suggestion from the headline, subheading and photograph means that anyone glancing at the piece would assume the German government had sent the bill. Screenshots of the headline have also been shared in isolation on social media. The German Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Mass has said the idea of billing China is “illusory”. This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as false because this “bill” was mocked up by a German newspaper, not sent by the German government. Full Fact fights for good, reliable information in the media, online, and in politics.
