Due to international digital media, social media propaganda and the ongoing information war between neighboring countries at the global level, a very shocking, shameful and sensational news is coming out. A case of some Chinese citizens doing livestreaming in a very vicious manner from poor and cramped areas in and around Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka has come to light. The surprising thing is that these Chinese vloggers are shooting videos of the settlements and slums of Dhaka, but on Chinese social media platforms, they are being shown as the capital of India. ‘New Delhi’ They are serving it by telling. Through this well-planned and fake propaganda, not only are dirty attempts being made to tarnish India’s image at the international level, but the privacy of local Bangladeshi citizens is also being openly violated. Let us know in detail how the investigation by Bangladeshi media has exposed the dark exploits of these Chinese vloggers.
Big revelation in the investigation of Bangladeshi newspaper: More than 150 Chinese vloggers are active in the streets of Dhaka.
This entire sensational case came to light when Bangladesh’s prestigious newspaper ‘Prothom Alo’ did a deep and detailed investigation on it. Investigation revealed that currently more than 150 Chinese citizens are involved in suspicious activities in the narrow and poor areas like Uttara and Tekpara of the capital Dhaka. All these vloggers always keep two mobile phones with them. One of these phones is mainly used for live streaming and video recording, while the other phone is used to read and immediately respond to comments sent by Chinese viewers.
When these Chinese language livestream videos were decoded with the help of Google Translate and local language experts, they revealed extremely objectionable, derogatory and vulgar revelations. For example, on November 1, a Chinese woman named ‘Miamiam’ lied to her Chinese viewers while livestreaming from Sector 12, Uttara, saying, “This is New Delhi. Their houses are very dirty and there is not even a fan inside these houses with tin roofs.” He not only referred to the poverty of Dhaka as New Delhi, but also made very poor and derogatory comments on the lifestyle, living conditions and law and order of the local people. Similarly, another Chinese woman named ‘Wang Wei’, while making a video of common citizens sitting at a roadside tea stall, falsely claimed that it was ‘cow urine tea’ and was being made from some dirty river water.
Videos being played with the help of local guides, WeChat and Douyin are earning big money.
For these Chinese citizens, this entire game has become not only a curiosity but also a major means of earning money. Due to being unaware of the language and geographical location, these Chinese citizens are hiring local Bangladeshi people as their guides by paying huge amount.
A local woman named Ritu Akhtar informed the media that she has been working as a guide for these Chinese vloggers for the last several months and in return she earns 700 to 800 taka daily. According to her, not only she but many other local women are also engaged in this work. These Chinese citizens broadcast these livestream videos on China’s popular social media platforms such as ‘WeChat’ and ‘Douyin’, the Chinese version of TikTok. Since the number of viewers watching such misleading and sensational videos is huge in China, they get a good amount of income and views through vlogging. This is the main reason why these people deliberately target only low-income, backward and poor areas, leaving aside the rich areas.
A big attack on the privacy of local citizens, vloggers are even entering homes and bathrooms.
This whole matter is not limited to just spreading wrong information and fake propaganda on the internet, but it has now become a big threat to the personal life and safety of common citizens. Local residents seriously allege that these Chinese vloggers enter their homes without anyone’s permission.
Narrating their ordeal, local women like Rozina Khatoon and Papiya Begum said that sometimes these foreign vloggers suddenly enter the private rooms of their houses and even near the bathroom and start recording videos. When the locals protest strongly, these vloggers smile viciously, say ‘sorry’ in English and walk away. Due to such continuous activities, an uncomfortable, scary and tense environment is created throughout the day among the common citizens, especially women and children, living in these areas.
Big questions are being raised on the role of local administration and police.
This sensational incident has also put the functioning of the local administration and police department in the dock. Although Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Uttara West Police Station Mohammad Khalid Mansoor has admitted that he himself has seen these Chinese citizens livestreaming on the streets, but the local police has no concrete answer or control as to what is the real and hidden purpose of these videos and under what propaganda they are being shown on Chinese social media.
Due to the huge language barrier and hesitation or non-cooperation of these citizens in front of the police officers, it has become a big challenge for the administration to get to the bottom of the matter. Initially, the local people ignored this act of foreign nationals as just a general curiosity or vlogging, but now it has become a serious mental harassment and a major security issue for the residents of Uttara and other tight areas of Dhaka. Now the demand for strict administrative steps is gaining momentum regarding this fake propaganda being spread against India at the international level and the violation of privacy of the local people.
