Deceptive Livestreaming by Chinese Vloggers: Dhaka Slums Misrepresented as Indian Capital

Over 150 Chinese nationals have been found to livestream from impoverished neighborhoods in Dhaka, Bangladesh, falsely claiming the footage was taken in New Delhi, India. These vloggers are making derogatory comments about living conditions in India, raising concerns about a potential disinformation campaign. Prothom Alo's investigation reveals that these Chinese vloggers have been filming in Tekpara and Uttara, neighborhoods in Dhaka, and broadcasting the content on popular Chinese social media platforms such as WeChat and Douyin, while misleading their audience about the location. On November 1, one vlogger named 'Mianmian' was seen livestreaming beside a canal in Uttara's Sector 12, describing it as New Delhi with dirty, underdeveloped, and unhygienic homes. Another vlogger, 'Wang Wei', claimed the tea consumed by locals was made from cow urine and dirty river water. The deceptive livestreaming trend is not isolated, with earlier reports documenting similar activities in May by Dhaka-based outlets like The Business Standard. Some Chinese vloggers even claim to live in these areas because they married in India, although this has not been verified. These misleading broadcasts raise questions about a potential disinformation campaign aimed at shaping perceptions of India among Chinese audiences. Though the Indian economy is growing rapidly and trying to attract manufacturers from China, the Chinese economy remains larger.
