Around 150 Chinese nationals have reportedly been livestreaming from impoverished neighbourhoods in Dhaka, presenting footage as scenes from New Delhi to audiences in China. An investigation published by Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo on November 6 identified Chinese vloggers filming in areas including Tekpara and Uttara, portraying local living conditions as representative of India. The videos are reportedly being shared on Chinese social media platforms, with some creators making derogatory claims about India's poverty and infrastructure. Another Bangladeshi outlet, The Business Standard, had documented similar filming in Dhaka's low-income neighbourhoods in May. The activity has raised questions about possible organised disinformation, although no evidence establishing a coordinated campaign is provided. (Video Source: Prothom Alo)
