Chinese vloggers stream Dhaka streets and call them New Delhi
Chinese vloggers have been livestreaming from poorer parts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and telling viewers they are walking through New Delhi, reports say.
Chinese vloggers are streaming from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and telling their viewers they are in New Delhi. According to reports, the videos show poorer localities of the city, but the streamers present them as India's capital.
The line used in the clips is "This is New Delhi". Some of the streams also carry derogatory remarks about the place being shown.
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, a different country from India, so the labels are simply wrong. Earlier, we reported that the same vloggers were tagging Bangladeshi slums as "New Delhi" in their videos.
The streams were reported on 9 November. For now, the details are limited to what the reports describe: street scenes from Dhaka, a false location, and unkind commentary on top.
