BEIJING \u2014 In the wake of the sudden death of beloved Chinese actor and singer Yu Menglong, social media platforms have been flooded with a wave of unverified \u201cChina Leaks,\u201d including shocking claims that investigators have since labeled baseless fabrications.<\/p>\n
Among the flood of rumors, one so-called \u201cconfession\u201d \u2014 claiming a suspect had \u201ceaten Yu Menglong\u2019s flesh and skin\u201d \u2014 triggered a global frenzy online. Within hours, the story was shared across Telegram channels, fringe news blogs, and conspiracy forums.<\/p>\n
However, no official source, police transcript, or verified document ever supported such a claim. Digital forensics teams from Hong Kong and Singapore traced the alleged \u201cconfession tape\u201d to a deep-faked voice recording, created using AI-generated speech.<\/p>\n
Fact-checking groups including AFP Fact Check and BOOM Asia have since confirmed that the confession is entirely false and likely part of a coordinated disinformation campaign.<\/p>\n
