India's foreign ministry protests Chinese livestreamers misrepresenting Dhaka as New Delhi
India's foreign ministry said it objected to Chinese vloggers who filmed in Dhaka neighborhoods and claimed the footage was from New Delhi, citing a surge in anti-India content on Chinese platforms. Investigations by Bangladeshi media earlier reported that about 150 Chinese content creators had been filming in poor Dhaka neighbourhoods and presenting the scenes as India. Local residents later said more than 5,000 Chinese nationals were livestreaming from the Uttara and Tekpara areas of northern Dhaka, labeling the neighbourhood as New Delhi and promoting products on Chinese platforms.
