PM Mette F. warns against fake online content

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warns the public about fake content online following the spread of a video with false subtitles portraying her as mocking Taiwan. Frederiksen urges critical evaluation of Internet sources and reliance on responsible media. The video’s distribution, mainly through TikTok predominantly in Taiwan, was highlighted by false subtitles shown within the Danish parliament. It appears to primarily be shared by Chinese-speaking accounts. The video ends with a brief disclaimer stating it is for entertainment. Taiwan’s consulate has condemned the video. The incident comes amidst high tensions between China and Taiwan, where the latter operates as an independent entity with its own parliament and military, though not recognized by Denmark as a sovereign state.
