Footage makes it out trivially. And expect university students especially to have the knowledge when it comes to getting footage outside of the country.

What made the Chinese" falling over dead" footage suspect is how that it did not match what we saw elsewhere in the world.

More likely IMO is that collage students held anti-CCP sentiment, and so they just grabbed people in an act of desperation. From what I hear, the CCP is having a bad time. Many of their own people are fed up with their regime as one would expect.
