Not saying it's a lie, but sourcing from NYPost is automatically a huge red flag.

I'll put more stock in this when it's reported by reputable outlets.

TikTok has flooded millions of Europeans with ads from Chinese state propaganda outlets on topics like COVID-19 and tourism in the troubled Xinjiang region, according to an analysis of a recent ad library conducted by Forbes.
