Brendan Carr's tweet referred to a nypost article[1] which referred to a 60 minutes Australia tweet[2] claiming Dr. Ai Fen is missing. I've read news from other sources that eventually linked to [2] but no other supporting facts. Is there any substantial evidence anywhere that Ai Fen is actually missing? Or is there no reporter on the ground who can confirm if that's the case?
The cryptic message on March 29th was accompanied with a picture of Wuhan, and the message itself described the geographic features of this city. Any Mandarin speaker won't find it that cryptic.
On April 10th she posted a picture of her and a retired teacher coming to Wuhan for volunteering.
So.. is it so easy to report fake news about China because people love to hate China and most official Chinese statements/sources are in Mandarin so not many English speakers can verify?
Let's look at her weibo: https://www.weibo.com/u/2662574464?is_all=1
