Comments on Another fake South China tiger
Pingjiang is not in Hubei but in Hunan Province.
The fact that this fake photo (not cropped, but entirely fake) made it into the "Chinese media" clearly shows that the "Chinese media" is corrupt and biased. It also proves that while the Chinese think they can tell fact from fiction (unlike the dupes who read the "Western media"), they are really just brainwashed.
I'm assuming it works both ways, no?

Every modern country has a period that media is corrupt.
It doesn't mean the situation in China is good. Now most of people see it but time is needed to change the situation.
