Misleading use of name: Viral content falsely attributes a speech to former Minister of Health Chang Wen-kan?

Reported about 1 year ago

The Taiwan FactCheck Center's report #3065 from June 13, 2024, examines a viral post claiming to quote former China's Minister of Health Chang Wen-kan. However, the earliest versions of the text did not mention Chang Wend-kan at all, with the name added later in circulation. The misleading post discusses health and medical advice but falsely attributes it to Chang Wen-kan. Clarifications are provided regarding the identity of Chang Wen-kan, the former Chinese Minister of Health, and the confusion arising from the use of the term 'Minister of Health' in Taiwan's context. The post has been circulating in both Chinese and international social media platforms.
