Purportedly AI-Manipulated Image Reported to Falsely Depict Taiwanese Politician Kao Chia-yu Posing With PRC Flag
2025-12-25
In late December 2025, an altered image reportedly circulated online falsely depicting former Taiwanese legislator Kao Chia-yu posing in front of the PRC five-star flag, implying travel to or alignment with China. Reporting indicates the image was manipulated from a real photo taken at Taiwan's representative office in New York, replacing the Republic of China flag. Kao publicly debunked the image, citing AI-assisted disinformation and warning of political smearing ahead of elections.
