Yeah CEOs are well known for their unbiased claims about their own companies, much more so than standards bodies (however flawed)

How can you bias a livestream where you drive the number of kilometers that you later claim that you can drive with the car? You can at worst commit outright fraud, but bias?

Hypermiling is a known method for extending the range. That is why standardized tests are important so you can match the standardized number to your driving.
A livestream is hard to fake but what tires were they using? What was the climate control setting? What speed? Did they have a tail wind?

The maximum speed was caped to 90 km/hour (56 miles/hour), and the energy consumption was 13.2 kWh/100 km. The average speed for the trip was 83.9 km/h.
so there it goes, driven at an average speed of 53 mph hypermilling! For comparison, Tesla M3 achieved 975km: In May 2018, Sean Mitchell and Erik Strait set a hypermiling record for the Tesla Model 3 by driving 606.2 miles on a single charge after 32 hours of driving.

Sure, the M3 also has 1/3 less battery capacity too.

Well, Tesla did exactly that, they faked a full autopilot demo:

And they clearly can use a rigged car, cherrypick conditions etc. If it even were live.

Sure but it depends on the location. I guess in China fraud committed by a company with strong party connections (as all companies have) is not illegal. Otherwise half the alibaba sellers would be arrested :) :)
But I generally don't like to throw legal terms around unless it's been proven in court.
