I think it was around the premiere of BMW 7 facelift in 2019. I don't care about or follow automotive news but this was so ridiculous that it imprinted in my memory, it could be one of the awful British tabloids though. All I can find in G search right now are modest claims that indeed some design choices of the 2019 facelift were on request of Chinese customers as they are the major client base of this segment.
