- (General Dispatch) – Two major Chinese media outlets Global Times and People’s Daily released a cartoon with an offensive message against BBC reporters.
- The cartoon depicted BBC reporters conducting an interview with a scarecrow in Ku Klux Klan garb and in the background colored workers picking cotton being offensive to different nations.
- The illustration was made by Wuheqilin, a CCP follower who has tried to defend the crimes against humanity that the Chinese government has been committing against the Uyghur ethnic group in the Xinjiang region.
- In February the BBC published a report demonstrating the number of atrocities committed by the Chinese authorities against the Uyghur ethnic group, as well as claims made by Uyghur survivors.
- For this reason, the Chinese government is waging a battle against foreign media to try to deflect all kinds of accusations related to the Xinjiang region.
- One of these reports is that the CCP has tried to claim that around 1000 concentration camps are to educate the neediest groups of the Uyghur ethnic group, which is false information.
- However, Wuheqilin’s cartoon quickly became famous in the Chinese networks, and the CCP praised the illustrator’s work, being an offensive for the companies H&M and Nike.
- Large multinational companies that after learning of the CCP’s enslavement of Uyghur slave labor in Xinjiang, established a trade blockade to avoid purchasing the type of cotton produced in the region.
