An OSINT review of the late-July 2025 Beijing–Hebei floods combines satellite imagery (Planet, Copernicus) and geolocation to document severe impacts—especially around Taishitun in Miyun District and submerged farmland near Jiuying—alongside authorities’ admission of preparedness gaps, while exposing AI-generated misinformation on platforms like YouTube and Facebook (e.g., fake Jackie Chan death posts) that overshadowed genuine footage, in contrast to mostly authentic posts on Chinese platforms; Bellingcat validated multiple locations and identified recycled clips.
