This rumor originated from a post in Tieba in 2012. This post not only predicted that mankind would face a catastrophe, but also linked the military and political actions of various countries in the past one or two years, saying that the five permanent members of the United Nations have united , are preparing for the imminent end of the world.

However, most netizens did not take this rumor seriously.

Relevant news quickly spread to the Internet, causing widespread concern among netizens.

But most people still don't believe it very much, after all, there is no official news yet.
