Hong Shenhan recently went to China to attend the APEC Human Resources Development Ministers' Meeting and took a flight back to Taiwan yesterday. He said at Taoyuan Airport that he entered China with a letter of invitation and did not apply for or use a Taiwan compatriot card. With the delegation's insistence on reciprocity and dignity and the assistance of the APEC Secretariat, China gave Taiwan the same rights as other members in accordance with APEC regulations, and was not dwarfed.

However, yesterday afternoon, an account posted on social media to share a photo of Hong Shenhan holding high the flag of the Republic of China at the venue. The poster also said, "Only the Democratic Progressive Party can maintain Taiwan's reciprocal dignity! A slap in the face will only spread rumors and lick the communists!"

However, some netizens later discovered that the photo was an AI composite, and they questioned that the account was deliberately cheating. Some netizens also discovered that the account's IP address is in "China" and criticized "the cyber army is directing and acting on their own again." Some netizens also forwarded relevant evidence to remind netizens not to be deceived and forward.

Looking at this account, we can also find that he also continued to post articles to criticize the Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang, saying, "I am a Taipei citizen, I support the abolition of death, and Shen Boyang also supports the abolition of death. So I support 'my mayor Shen Boyang'!! Taipei It should be a city with love. No matter how evil people are, they all have the right to live and can be influenced by "love"!" Netizens also left messages questioning "Friends to watch the Chinese cyber army want to cross paths", "Friends to pay attention to fake accounts", "China also has Taipei City?"

Liang Wenjie also posted a post yesterday to share the scene forwarded by netizens, and bluntly said, "What are you doing with such fake photos?" Under the post, netizens also said, "It can't be more fake... Whoever gets on the bus will win the country", "Expand! Fake photos! Don't get on the bus", "There are many people following... and legislators are following... There are more and more fake Taiwanese factions and it is getting harder and harder to distinguish."
