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.
To introduce the platform, the NSB released a one-minute, AI-generated video depicting a Chinese civil servant watching colleagues get investigated and removed. According to a statement from the bureau, the video “reflects a pervasive atmosphere where everyone is on edge under China's totalitarian regime.” An "increasing number" of people have approached agencies in Taiwan "wishing to provide various types of information", it said.
The NSB stated that an increasing number of people have already been approaching agencies in Taiwan with the desire to provide various types of information. It added that this new reporting channel is modelled after established practices currently adopted by intelligence agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel.
The security bureau emphasised that it will use technology to rigorously filter, evaluate, and follow up on all submissions received through the platform. When contacted on Monday (June 15), the NSB did not immediately respond to news agency AFP's request for further comment regarding the initiative.
