    omfg i didn’t even realize at first that this is on CGTN’s channel :rolling on the floor laughing:

    one of the comments says this:

    This video is funny but it is true! I actually caught BBC lying a few times in the past. For example, in one of BBC’s report about Belt and Road Initiative in Kazakhstan, the BBC was trying to demonize China by saying that the Chinese companies only hired Chinese workers and not the locals, in the interview the BBC reporter asked the Chinese foreman (in Mandarin) whether the workers were locals. The foreman replied, “yes”. But the BBC translated the foreman’s reply into “no”. Then the BBC commentary (in the background) began demonizing China for not giving the locals job opportunity. And I don’t think it was an error in translation because it is really hard to confuse “yes” with “no”.

    i can’t find the video to confirm but this would not remotely surprise me.
