TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan’s top intelligence agency on June 14 launched a website inviting Chinese nationals to submit intelligence tips, saying it was providing a secure channel for what it says is a growing number of people disillusioned with life in China.

Taiwan’s National Security Bureau said in a press release that the new platform was modeled on similar reporting channels used by intelligence agencies in the United States, the UK, and Israel, and would “expand the bureau’s diverse intelligence sources.”
