TAIPEI, June 14 — Taiwan’s ​government launched a website on Sunday to encourage Chinese nationals to report intelligence tips, saying it was offering a secure channel to what it ‌says is an increasing number of people who are fed up with the ​system and want change.<\/p>\n

Taiwan and China, which views the democratically governed island as its own territory, have long spied on each other, and Taiwan in particular has reported an increased number of ​Chinese espionage cases.<\/p>\n

Taiwan’s National Security Bureau said on its website that in recent years, China’s economy has faced growing difficulties, while political control has remained “tight”.<\/p>\n

“Coupled with a growing range of social and livelihood-related problems, these conditions have fuelled public discontent,” said a statement in Chinese and English. “As a result, an increasing number of individuals ‌have approached relevant agencies in Taiwan, wishing to provide various types of information.”<\/p>\n

China’s Taiwan ⁠Affairs Office did not immediately respond to a ⁠request for comment.<\/p>\n

The website opens to a one-minute ⁠promotional video that the bureau said ⁠was AI-generated, showing a ⁠Chinese civil servant witnessing colleagues being investigated and removed from their posts.<\/p>\n

“Ah, yet another person has been taken away,” the unnamed civil servant says in a northern Chinese accent, ⁠with subtitles in the simplified characters used in China.<\/p>\n

“The old comrades are inexplicably vanishing one by one,” the narrator says.<\/p>\n

The video ends with the official buying a mobile phone and typing on it, saying: “Now is the time to change”.<\/p>\n

The website is blocked in China, though many Chinese use VPNs to access other blocked sites like ⁠Western social media and search engines.<\/p>\n

The bureau called on Chinese nationals at home or abroad to “actively provide information and make changes with courage”.<\/p>\n

It said ⁠the new tactic was following the lead of agencies in such countries as the US, ⁠Britain and ⁠Israel.<\/p>\n

The channel enables Chinese nationals to provide intelligence-related information to “expand the bureau’s diverse intelligence sources”, it said.<\/p>\n

China ​has tried similar tactics itself. In 2024, ​China announced an email address where people could ‌report tipoffs about crimes committed by Taiwan “separatists”.<\/p>\n

Taiwan’s government rejects ​Beijing’s sovereignty claims, saying only the ​island’s people can decide their future. — Reuters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
