Taiwan launches website for Chinese intelligence submissions

Taiwan has launched a new website aimed at soliciting intelligence from Chinese citizens, presenting it as a secure channel for individuals seeking change within China. The initiative, announced by Taiwan's National Security Bureau, comes as cross-strait relations remain tense and espionage cases are on the rise.

According to a statement shared in English and Chinese, Taiwan believes that China's economy faces growing challenges while political control remains strict. These conditions, combined with social and livelihood issues, have fueled public dissatisfaction. The bureau noted that a growing number of individuals have approached Taiwanese authorities with information.

Som følge heraf har et stigende antal personer henvendt sig til relevante myndigheder i Taiwan med ønske om at videregive forskellige typer oplysninger.

The website features an AI-generated video depicting a Chinese official witnessing colleagues being investigated and removed from their posts. The video concludes with the official stating, "Now is the time for change." The initiative encourages Chinese citizens, both domestically and abroad, to "actively share information and create change through courage."

China, which views Taiwan as its territory, has not immediately responded to requests for comment. Beijing has previously used similar tactics, including establishing an email address in 2024 for the public to report alleged crimes by Taiwanese "separatists." The new Taiwanese website is reportedly blocked within mainland China, though many users employ VPNs to access restricted content.
