Hoax – A video shows the tallest girl in China. According to the claim, she is 3 meters tall and considered the tallest in the country.
Analysis
With the rise of generative artificial intelligence tools, it’s not uncommon to find realistic videos depicting entirely made-up situations. Many of these creations have gone viral on social media under the promise of revealing “unbelievable” scenes or stories “hidden by the mainstream media.” And that’s exactly what’s happening with a story circulating in recent weeks.
According to posts on social networks, a video allegedly shows the tallest girl in China. According to the content, she is 3 meters tall. The footage, widely shared on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, features an Asian-looking woman among other people, with proportions far greater than those around her. “THE TALLEST GIRL IN CHINA,” reads the post. Watch the video:

Fact-check
Like other “fantastic” videos on social media, this “3-meter-tall girl” video has gained traction. However, it’s another fake. Let’s address three key questions: 1) Is the video showing China’s tallest girl, who is 3 meters tall, real? 2) Is there any girl who is 3 meters tall? 3) Who is the tallest girl in China?
Is the video showing China’s tallest girl, who is 3 meters tall, real?
No. The video showing a supposed 3-meter-tall girl was created using artificial intelligence. This type of content, made for entertainment or engagement, has become common on platforms like TikTok, where users post digitally altered human proportions. A quick search for terms like “super tall Asian girl AI generated” reveals dozens of similar examples.
The visual characteristics of the video — such as exaggerated proportions and slightly unnatural movements — also suggest the use of image-generation software focused on deepfakes or video manipulation. No reliable source or reputable news outlet has reported the existence of a girl of such height in China, further reinforcing that this is fiction.
Is there any girl who is 3 meters tall?
No. No human being in modern history has reached a height of 3 meters. Human height records are far from that. The tallest living woman in the world is Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey, who stands 2.15 meters tall, according to the Guinness World Records. The tallest man ever recorded was Robert Wadlow, who reached 2.72 meters, but he was an extreme exception and didn’t live long due to medical complications.
In other words, the claim that a Chinese girl is 3 meters tall is not only baseless but also biologically unlikely. There is no medical or statistical evidence to support such a claim today.
Who is the tallest girl in China?
The tallest recorded woman in China is far from the 3-meter mark. Her name is Sun Fang, and she stands around 2.21 meters tall. Sun Fang was recognized as the tallest woman in China in 2012, replacing Yao Defen, who measured 2.33 meters and passed away that same year. So even among record-holders, no one comes close to the 3-meter height promoted on social media.
Conclusion
The video supposedly showing China’s tallest girl at 3 meters tall is fake. The footage was generated by artificial intelligence, there is no woman of that height in China or anywhere else, and the tallest woman in the Asian country stands just over 2.20 meters tall. The content is another example of fictional video created to deceive or entertain using false information.
