Chinese Use Footage from "Top Gun," Claim it was a "Live Fire Exercise"

Talk about misinformation:

However, the Chinese government apparently does not know who Tom Cruise is. At the very least, their news agencies did not realize that, while their citizens have not seen many Western films, that the U.S. has. In a recent news cast, the Chinese media was touting new, live fire exercises. They then showed footage of the dog-fights. The problem is, they simply used clips from the 1986 film 'Top Gun.'
