Western media jump at chance to hang the dog

Chen Shaojie, CEO of the video game streaming site Douyu, was reportedly arrested by Dujiangyan police in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on suspicion of opening casinos last week, which was confirmed by the company in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Even before the probe into Chen's case is finished, or any trial has taken place, some Western media outlets cannot wait to hype up the case as the latest proof of the Chinese authorities' "crackdown" on private entrepreneurs, and the country's worsening business environment.

None of them have any interest in the case itself, they are simply using the news as an opportunity to give a dog a bad name and hang it in order to smear China.
