Massive wave of Chinese streamers confuses residents; is false information ``anti-India propaganda''? -Bangladesh

[New Delhi Current Affairs] Live streamers from China have flocked to an underdeveloped area of ​​Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and are causing controversy by filming their daily lives. Some broadcasters are falsely reporting that ``This is New Delhi (India),'' and some are concerned that this is China's organized ``anti-India propaganda'' (Indian media).

China restricts export of tunnel boring machines to 'disputed countries', may India be in mind?

Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo (electronic version) and other outlets reported on the matter by the 10th. More than 150 people have visited some areas where low-income people live, one resident told the paper, ``I can understand it for a day or two, but they've been filming for months. I don't know what they're using it for.''

One of the streamers explained that he was posting on the communications app WeChat as part of "product promotion," but did not say why he chose this location. However, many of them seem to make money by making interesting videos about poor living and unsanitary conditions. It is said that there have been cases of nuisance behavior in which people suddenly enter people's houses and take pictures.

At a regular press conference on the 10th, Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Jaiswal complained, ``This attempt to present a distorted image of the country is regrettable.''
