The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) reported on October 30 that a report on the relationship between Hunter Biden, the son of the Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and the Chinese Communist Party, may have been circulated on the right-wing website recently.

The report also claimed that the report was written by American scholars commissioned by Apple Daily, but both Apple Daily and its founder, Li Zhiying, denied this.

The NBC report stated that the report was a 64-page "Typhoon Investigations" (Typhoon Investigations) written by self-proclaimed Swiss security analyst Martin Aspen. However, a researcher investigating false news found that the report was combined with Aspen. No one means that the photos were synthesized by computer.

The place where Aspen claimed to work also emphasized that there was no record of that person.

The "Typhoon Survey" first appeared on an online blog in September, and the owner of the Internet reported that the report was provided by American scholar Christopher Balding.

The latter stated that he did not write the report, but he later claimed to NBC that he had provided part of the content, saying that Aspen was a fictitious character in order to make the report public.

As for the true identity of the original author, Balding refused to disclose, saying that the other party was worried about personal and professional safety, but he claimed that the report was commissioned by Apple Daily.

NBC alleges that an Apple Daily spokesperson confirmed that he had worked with Balding.

Li Zhiying: Reporting damages integrity

Hong Kong and Taiwan’s "Apple Daily" issued a statement after the report was exposed, stressing that it had not commissioned anyone to write any report and had nothing to do with the report mentioned by NBC.

At the same time, it also pointed out that NBC's inquiries have never been confiscated, and there has been no formal response to the incident before, and Li Zhiying only learned of the incident now.

Li Zhiying also left a message on Twitter, saying that his assistant Mark Simon had just said that he had participated in the report and used the funds of Li Zhiying's private company to carry out related plans, but because the amount involved was only 10,000 US dollars, Li Zhiying's approval was not required.

He was shocked by the report and said his integrity had been damaged.

Mark Simon later admitted that the commissioned investigation was wrong, so he apologized and resigned to Li Zhiying.
