China Daily, a government-run propaganda newspaper, published a “glamour” video on Sunday of a dog frolicking through a supposed Chinese village at the base of snow-capped mountains. In reality, the video depicted the mountains of Switzerland.
China Daily, which is owned by the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), posted the video on Twitter, where it remains live as of the time of publication.
Accompanying the video, the newspaper asked: “Wouldn’t you like to visit this peaceful getaway and enjoy play time with your dog in a small town nestled at the foot of the mountain?” alongside the #GlamorChina [sic] hashtag.
