Chinese propaganda artist mocks Western criticism of human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims with illustration of 'BBC News journalist' in white hood, cotton-picking slaves and kneeling police officer

The picture seems to show a journalist and cameraman with white pointed
Ku Klux Klan-style hoods, interviewing a scarecrow in a field of cotton
and black slaves. Steadying a cross on which a scarecrow is held is a
hooded figure wearing a Minneapolis police uniform, an apparent
reference to the police officer who pressed his knee on the neck of a
dying George Floyd last year. One of the journalists holds up a
microphone with a logo that looks similar to 'BBC News'. At the bottom
of the illustration reads: 'Can you tell us what unfair treatment you
have suffered, Miss Scarecrow?' A placard next to the scarecrow says:
'I've been sexually assaulted and abused.'
