Zambia has extradited a Chinese filmmaker to neighbouring Malawi to face charges relating to racism and child exploitation. Lu Ke was a Malawi resident when he was exposed by BBC Africa Eye, which reported he had used local children to film personalised greetings videos, some of which included racist content. The videos could be bought for up to $70 (£55) on Chinese social media and internet platforms. In one of the videos filmed in Malawi and seen by the BBC, a group of young children is made to chant in Chinese - "I'm a black monster. Malawian police launched an investigation in June but were unable to arrest the Chinese filmmaker as he could not be found.
