Taiwan launches website for Chinese nationals to report intelligence
The bureau said the channel will help expand its intelligence sources as China’s economy slows and public discontent rises.
- On Sunday, Taiwan's National Security Bureau launched a secure website allowing Chinese nationals to submit intelligence tips, aiming to expand intelligence sources amid growing public discontent in China.
- The website features an AI-generated promotional video depicting a civil servant lamenting that 'the old comrades are inexplicably vanishing one by one,' designed to resonate with officials fearing political repression.
- Officials modeled this digital reporting channel after intelligence practices in Britain and Israel, mirroring last year's CIA initiative using Mandarin-language social media videos to solicit tips from disgruntled officials.
- Beijing previously launched an online platform encouraging the public to report 'Taiwan independence' activities and alleged 'separatists,' highlighting the escalating information war between sides split since 1949.
- Tensions remain elevated as Taiwan's military fired rockets toward China on Wednesday; President Donald Trump was warned by Chinese leader Jinping that the two countries could clash over the island.
