China has pledged to enact "resolute countermeasures" following Taiwan's launch of a new website designed for Chinese citizens to leak intelligence, according to Chinese state media. Taiwan's National Security Bureau (NSB) has launched a website inviting Chinese citizens who share democratic values to leak intelligence and report on Beijing. This initiative comes amid heightened tensions, as China claims the democratic island as its territory, threatening the use of force to seize it, while Taipei accuses Beijing of utilising infiltration and espionage to weaken Taiwanese defences. The security bureau emphasised that it will use technology to rigorously filter, evaluate, and follow up on all submissions received through the platform.
On Wednesday (June 17), Beijing criticised the website, with its Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Chen Binhua saying it "undermined cross-strait relations" and reflected the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's "persistent confrontational mindset", according to state broadcaster CCTV.
"We strongly condemn these actions and will take resolute countermeasures. Chinese citizens, political parties, people's organisations, enterprises, public institutions, and other social organisations all bear the responsibility and obligation to safeguard national security," Chen added and was quoted by news agency AFP.
He further warned that people who provide intelligence to Taiwan's agencies will be held legally accountable.

Key Details of the Dispute

- China's Reaction: Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, stated that the website damages cross-strait relations and reflects the "persistent confrontational mindset" of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
