Bangladesh Increases Surveillance of Chinese Vloggers Over False India Footage
Bangladeshi authorities have increased surveillance of around 150 Chinese nationals accused of filming poor Dhaka neighborhoods and falsely presenting the footage as scenes from New Delhi. Following concerns raised by India's Ministry of External Affairs about a coordinated disinformation campaign, the Chinese vloggers have scaled back their activities. Police and intelligence agencies are monitoring their movements, and the vloggers reportedly paid local residents to assist. Residents and officials confirm the reduction in such filming after law enforcement intervention.
