Chinese newscast uses fake footage

A recent news story about the nation's air force featured fake clips from a Hollywood movie. The story, aired on China Central Television, incorporated clips from the 1986 movie Top Gun while documenting the People's Liberation Army. It was reported that the broadcaster frequently uses film clips while failing to inform the public of their origin and neglecting to pay royalties regarding copyrights. The company is currently working on a solution to the ongoing problem.
