The Chinese communist regime on June 5 placed bounties on 20 people it claims were involved in a hacking operation on behalf of Taiwan’s military, sparking outrage in Taipei.

A district public security bureau in Guangzhou, a southern Chinese city, is offering rewards of 10,000 yuan ($1,392.25) to anyone who provides information or works with the Chinese authorities, leading to their arrest, according to a June 5 notice featuring the group member’s photos and Taiwan identification card numbers.
