Live: Headline Buster - Myths of the UK lorry tragedy
Updated 10:52, 01-Nov-2019

On October 23, 39 people were found dead in a refrigerated truck in Essex in the United Kingdom. Although the identities of the victims have not yet been confirmed, some media took the liberty of reporting that all the victims were Chinese. And while most people remain shocked and saddened by the tragedy, other media even used the event to speculate about the 'Chinese regime' and the victims' reasons for fleeing.
