‘Mr Bean’ trapped in Wuhan, peddling coronavirus propaganda | Sky News AustraliaEXCLUSIVE: A Mr Bean impersonator trapped in Wuhan is being used by the Chinese government’s propaganda news outlets to praise China’s response to the coronavirus as “amazing” and “incredible”.\n\nBritish comic Nigel Dixon – who impersonates Mr Bean for a living – aired the comments in a video campaign by Xinhua News Agency, an official Chinese state-run media agency.\n\n“Once people were waiting for hospital beds, now beds are waiting for people,” Mr Dixon says in the video.\n\n“It sickens me to hear of other countries blaming China, but for what?\n\n“We are now hearing of cases where people around the world have contracted their virus with no obvious connections to China.”\n\nMore than 3100 people have died from coronavirus in China so far and the government has been widely condemned for censuring early warnings before the virus became deadly.\n\nChina’s president Xi Jinping has released a glossy propaganda book praising his own handling of the crisis, attempting to paint it as heroic and strong. Of course, the story presents no factual evidence that he is spreading ‘propaganda’ or that he is ‘trapped’. After Islamists portraying as peace lover, it's now turn of Chinese . LoL aliarikan Understandably. There's no one I trust more than Mr Bean
