Verdict: misleading — Trust Score 25/100

VerifyMate's forensic analysis of the video identifies it as AI-generated / synthetic media — this footage is not authentic. The post claims China issued a public service announcement (PSA) advising its citizens not to respond to aliens and to notify the United Nations if contacted. While international scientific guidelines were updated in mid-2026 by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) with similar recommendations, and Chinese state-backed media reported on these updates, China did not issue a direct PSA to its citizens. The image accompanying the post, showing Donald Trump with aliens, is fabricated. The post misrepresents the nature and origin of the information, as refuted by 4 sources.

Platform: TIKTOK Author: @hrwz06 --- Caption/Description --- You don't have to tell me twice!!!🤯 #creepy #ufodisclosure #alien #paranormal ichina --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- Y'all are not taking this shit as serious as y'all supposed to be. China sent out a PSA to their citizens saying, do not respond to aliens if you are contacted. You heard what I just said, and I know y'all don't understand this, so I did the honors. Look at this shit right here. Do not do it without permission. Basically, it's saying that if they are contacted by alien, notify the United Nations immediately. If you go to Google, you will see China's state backed regional media circulated a public announcement advising citizens not to independently reply to potential extraterrestrial signals. Mind you, scientists actually updated international protocols this year for what we're supposed to do if intelligent extraterrestrial life contact earth. And one of the biggest rules, do not answer them on your own. And that warning, or rule, if you wanna call it, came from the International Academy of Aeronautics. So they're basically saying that they want any responses discussed internationally before humanity sends anything back. That's enough proof right there. For our whole lives they've been telling us aliens are on some conspiracy crazy shit. Now we actually have scientists developing rules about who gets to talk to them. On you. Let's go back to the UPA files basically telling us that everything that we thought wasn't real was real. And now this is where things get much scarier. Why are they suddenly becoming more comfortable discussing it? Why are UFO files being released? Why Are scientists updating alien contact protocol? Why is there now a warning circulating? And then after you tell me that, tell me why we wasn't informed. Why didn't we get a warning? Like I always tell you, it's nothing new under the sun. And when they tell you to look left, you gotta look right. I told you on t

Claims analyzed (2)

  1. misleading: China issued a public service announcement (PSA) advising its citizens not to respond to aliens if contacted and to notify the United Nations immediately.
    While Chinese state-backed media circulated information related to updated international protocols by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) in mid-2026, which include recommendations against unauthorized replies and notifying the UN, China itself did not issue a direct PSA to its citizens. Some sources explicitly state that claims of China issuing such a PSA are baseless and false.
  2. false: The video depicts Donald Trump interacting with aliens.
    The image of Donald Trump with aliens is clearly fabricated and shows signs of digital manipulation. There are no credible reports or evidence of such an event occurring.
