"They also say that they found a three metre long patch of "foul smelling urine-like liquid" on the road. "

Remember the Yeti are related and they're found on the slopes in Nepal and Tibet.

They're found there?

Lets just say the Yeti has been sighted there by several upstanding explorers and climbers... not on any drugs... at managable altitudes.
Every night I see Jupiter... but still, I have no specimen of it nor have I set foot in its clouds... yet I tell everyone I know that its there and it is found to be surrounded by over 60 moons. There are no casts of its footprints, there is no catch of its hair with which to do DNA sampling (results showed a NEW SPECIES!). There are no stories from living humans about being abducted by Jupiter, as there are from living humans about the Sasquatch doing so.
Humans claim to have flown robots past Jupiter and taken pictures... humans claim to have filmed Sasquatch on the run... labouriously trundling off into the underbrush... experts have studied the film and declared it authentic... the movement of the creature is too realistic to be of a costumed nature. No one has independently declared the film of Jupiter to be fake or real... it is simply accepted as the real thing.
I don't know. Personally... I've only heard the scream... the lonely scream of the Sasquatch, (and the scream of the woman from Saskatchewan!)... out in the dense wilderness of western Canada... (where the next winter Olympics are scheduled for 2010). I've never seen them. I don't really need to. That would most certainly **** things up for them and me.
It may be that with the changes brought about by humans... the stresses on the environment... that these solitary beings have gone one step further into obscurity and vanished completely.
That is effective camoflage... its called extinction.

I don't quite agree with the way that you said it, but I think we have the same basic objection. I don't object to the notion that videos, pictures, and stories are not accepted as scientific proof; but I think some do qualify as evidence. As you pointed out, pictures are sometimes treated as evidence, even a camera as a measurement instrument, but other times the skeptics cry "pictures are no evidence!" They are evidence! They are not proof.
To deny these things as evidence reveals a complete lack of objectivity on the part of the claimant. This position assumes that these things such as Bigfoot don't exist. This since if these things do exist, and we knew it, the pictures and such clearly would be viewed as evidence.
Many people confuse objectivity with closed mindedness. In fact, to be objective requires an open mind. Within this context, I would add that at one time the great apes were also thought by most to be mythical.

The whole story could become a myth with in a 15 year period or as long as it takes one generation to be educated by the slanted explorer who found the community of TV slaves.

Perhaps on a deeper level the Yeti, etc are merely ancestral memories of our mortal enemies, the Neanderthals? ;)
That would go a long way in explaining this crop of nonesense.
The only evidence presented in the BBC News article is a video clip that shows a large, unidentified figure moving through a forest. However, this video cannot be considered conclusive proof of a Bigfoot sighting.
It is possible that the figure in the video is a person wearing a costume or performing a prank. It could also be a misidentified animal or a CGI creation. Without further evidence, it is difficult to say for sure what the figure is.
There have been some reported sightings of a creature known as the "Yeren" or "Wild Man" in China, which some believe could be a type of Bigfoot. However, these sightings are often anecdotal and lack concrete evidence.
The scientific community generally does not believe in the existence of Bigfoot or any other cryptid creatures without solid, verifiable evidence. The lack of physical evidence and the many hoaxes and misidentifications surrounding Bigfoot sightings make it difficult for scientists to take these claims seriously.
While it is certainly possible for new species to be discovered, it is highly unlikely that a large, undiscovered primate like Bigfoot would be living in China's remote forests without leaving any substantial evidence. Additionally, the habitat in these forests is not ideal for a large, bipedal creature to survive undetected.
