Chinese influencer teaches cleaning bloodstains, dissolving bones, sparks crime fears
Popular online influencer gets hundreds of thousands of video views as he demonstrates processes which some claim could aid criminals
An influencer in China who teaches people how to clean bloodstains and bone residue has sparked concerns about the crime-related implications of his work.
The man, who uses the pseudonym Hua, hails from Guangdong province in southern China and claims to be a senior researcher at a biotechnology institute.
He shares household cleaning tutorials on a mainland Chinese short-video sharing platform, where he has attracted more than 350,000 followers.
In one video, Hua demonstrates how to clean bloodstains from a bathroom floor.
He pours hydrogen peroxide and toilet cleaner on the bloodstains, scrubs the area and successfully removes the stains, before telling viewers: “The internet is not a lawless place.”
In another video, Hua shows how toothpaste can be applied to bloodstains on pants, which can then be rinsed off with water.
