A highly coordinated disinformation network of approximately 150 Chinese operatives has been completely exposed in the impoverished neighborhoods of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Operating primarily out of Tekpara and Sector 12 of Uttara, these individuals are not independent influencers or random tourists. They are paid news peddlers acting directly on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
Their objective is singular and malicious: willingly producing fabricated content to demean India and broadcast fake poverty narratives to the entire world. Roaming the narrow lanes and forcefully entering local homes, these CCP agents livestream from morning till night on state monitored Chinese platforms like WeChat and Douyin.
Manufacturing Global Propaganda
The broadcast content has absolutely nothing to do with documenting the reality of Bangladesh. These paid streamers deliberately lie to their global and domestic audiences, explicitly presenting the dirty, overcrowded, and tin roofed settlements of Dhaka as New Delhi.
One operative, a woman identified as Mianmian from Sichuan province, was recorded broadcasting beside an open sewer. She looked directly into the camera and told her viewers that the underdeveloped and unhygienic tin roofed houses belonged to New Delhi. Another paid Chinese streamer, Wang Wei, filmed local tea stalls and blatantly lied to his audience, claiming the locals were drinking cow urine tea made from dirty river water.
The Chinese Communist Party Playbook
This is textbook state sponsored information warfare. The Chinese Communist Party has a long history of paying online peddlers to manipulate global perceptions. These operatives are willingly executing a psychological operation designed to manufacture and push anti India stereotypes. By maliciously using Bangladeshi slums as a geographic stand in for Indian cities, the CCP aims to humiliate Bharat on the global stage.
The rapid geopolitical dominance and economic rise of India continues to severely threaten Beijing. Unable to compete with the structural growth of Bharat, the paper dragon resorts to its favorite cowardly tactics. The Chinese Communist Party unleashes its paid trolls to deploy fake visuals, apply false geographic labels, and execute the systematic character assassination of a neighbor that is actively pulling ahead.
Local Bangladeshi media outlet Prothom Alo first exposed this massive state sponsored operation, and Indian digital platforms have rightfully amplified the threat. The critical question for our national security apparatus is no longer just about border defense. The state must urgently identify how many more of these paid CCP disinformation cells are currently operating across neighboring countries solely to demean India.
