Taiwan’s decision to open a new intelligence channel for people in China has sparked cautious optimism among some Chinese dissidents who say the initiative could both generate valuable information and heighten Beijing’s concerns about political loyalty inside China.
The online platform, launched by Taiwan’s National Security Bureau (NBS) on June 14, allows people in China to submit political, military, economic, and social intelligence directly to Taiwanese authorities. Officials say the effort is intended to expand intelligence sources while adapting to China’s extensive surveillance apparatus.
