In December 2019, SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, was first discovered in W Uhan. There is no conclusive evidence on the virus’s origin and further studies are being carried out around the world on a possible origin for the virus. The city is considered by some to be one of the potential sites of the pivotal Battle of the Red Cliffs, which stopped warlord Cao Cao’s incursion into southern China at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. It was briefly the. capital of China in 1927 under the left wing of the Kuomintang government led by Wang Jingwei. It later served as the wartime capital of. China for ten months in 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It produced GDP of US$224 billion in 2018. The Dongfeng Motor Corporation, an automobile manufacturer, is headquartered in Wuha.
