Chinese variety show gets flak for digitally adding seat belts over guests

A popular Chinese variety show is facing backlash after viewers noticed that seat belts worn by the celebrity guests appeared to have been digitally added in post-production.

The obvious edit quickly went viral, drawing millions of views and prompting a response from China's traffic authorities.

Officials reminded the public that seat belts are required by law and urged celebrities to lead by example. They added: "Scenes can be shot again, but life doesn't have a second take." #china #chinanews
