Claim : Taiwanese reporter went nude during weather report!

The two screenshots appear to show a female reporter reporting naked, while wearing a translucent yellowish raincoat.

Truth : Taiwanese reporter did not go nude during weather report!
This is yet another example of propaganda created and/or promoted by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) and/or pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…
No Taiwanese reporter went naked on air!
Let me start by pointing out that no Taiwanese reporter, female or male, went naked while reporting on Typhoon Kang Rui!
If that actually occurred, it would have been reported widely in Taiwan and around the world. Not only has there been no report by any trustworthy media outlet, there has been no outrage on Taiwanese social media.
In fact, the two screenshots appear to be spreading mainly in mainland Chinese websites and social media, and shared on X by pro-CCP accounts.
That’s because it never happened – no Taiwanese reporter went naked on air, and the screenshots were fabricated.
The female reporter was AI-generated
The truth is – the female reporter was AI-generated, and you can clearly see the evidence if you look closely.
In this screenshot, the most obvious clue would be the left hand of the female reporter – her left index finger appears to merge with, or cut off by, the microphone.
The fingers of her right hand are also abnormally large, which is even more apparent when you compare it to the fingers of her left hand.

In this second screenshot, you can see that the same female reporter now has a missing finger on the right hand. That’s the clearest sign of AI-generated photos.
If you look closely at the guy at the background, you will realise that he has an abnormally small head.
Her microphone lacks a microphone flag
In addition, genuine Taiwanese field reporters would not be using “naked” microphones. Instead their microphones would have a microphone flag showing the news network they are working for.
Same reporter appeared for two different networks
It is also impossible for the same female reporter to be reporting for two different Taiwanese news channels – SET iNews, and EBC News (東森新聞).
EBC News confirms images as AI-generated fakes from China
On Monday, 4 November 2024, EBC Eastern Television (EBC東森新聞) issued a statement, calling the images “deepfakes generated by AI”. Here is a translation of its statement:
We hereby declare that recently, numerous news clips from Taiwan have been circulating on online forums. These clips, which allegedly feature a half-naked female reporter broadcasting typhoon news, are believed to be deepfakes generated by AI. This is a fabricated piece of false information, and we urge netizens to refrain from sharing it.
EBC News also posted a fact check article, in which it claimed the AI-generated images were created by China.

This appears to be CCP propaganda
Ultimately, this appears to be yet another example of propaganda created or promoted by the infamous Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and/or pro-CCP netizens. Here are some other examples I fact-checked recently:
- Is China blockading Taiwan for imminent invasion?!
- Did the US attack + bomb these 26 countries since WW2?!
- Did the US hide logo of new Chinese crane with US flag?!
- Did the US flag hilariously fall at the 2024 Paris Olympics?!
- Chinese outrage + drama at 2024 Paris Olympics fact checked!
- Did Western reporter bump Chinese athlete in racist attack?!
- Did British women divers refuse to hug Chinese gold medalists?!
- Did Alexy + Chalmers disrespect Pan Zhanle at 2024 Olympics?!
- Did Western media try to drug Pan Zhanle at 2024 Olympics?!
- Is Taiwan Stationing Tanks + Weapons In Temples + Churches?!
As always, please be skeptical whenever you see such photos circulating on WhatsApp or social media platforms.
