Tldw: BBC video segment about forced labor in Xinjiang implies that Chinese police forced them to stop filming.
Actual police body cam footage shows that they were called out by a factory security guard who was concerned about some asshole parading around the factory with no mask on.
BBC journo straight out lies to security guard, claiming they had no footage of him and would not show him on their segment. Surprise, surprise, segment shows the guard (implied to be a Chinese cop).
Never trust western media.
"No, you guys, it was real. Here's the proof: [video that was just debunked]"
Shit like this happens but people buy the guardian story posted here as definitely true? Lol.
So many of the comments in that thread essentially boil down to:
I am now convinced that, even if it she might be exaggerating a little, China is doing totally real super-villain stuff
Bloody incredible. I think the chaps at Langley have earned their paychecks—some of that shite did stick to the wall, after all.
And, as usual, plenty of hand-wriggling about re-education camps being a 'questionable' solution to a very real and serious problem in XJ, without proposing a 'better' or realistic solution to it.
Unfortunately, western media will say this was either deep faked, or is footage from a different incident, or say it was doctored, or literally just pretend like this doesn't exist.
Anything to maintain the sinophobic narrative.
