The Chinese had arrested one hundred people involved in a pyramid scheme in 2017, which was well documented in their media in 2017.
A controversial British radio presenter is spreading a fake video about China's Xinjiang policy as part of a disinformation campaign to incite anti-China sentiment in the West.
Maajid Nawaz, a former Islamist and London Broadcasting Company host, posted footage showing blindfolded prisoners being herded on the street. He claims the video shows the "genocide" of Uygur Muslims in Xinjiang.
However, the video is found not to be associated with Xinjiang at all. The footage was filmed in Bijie City, China's Guizhou Province on August 4, 2017. It shows over 100 criminals of a massive pyramid scheme gang that was transferred to a detention center by 400 local police officers. It was verified with all of the major news outlets in China.
