Threats and inducements Chinese Communist Party’s comprehensive unified war on Taiwan

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has poured national efforts into developing the semiconductor industry, and these Chinese companies are poaching Taiwanese talent in a systematic manner with the full support of the CCP. The picture shows Taiwan’s technology industry personnel.

  1. Politics

During the pre-election period, the CCP will also coordinate airlines to increase flight capacity and give preferential tickets to Taiwanese businessmen and their families in mainland China and overseas in order to support specific candidates.

In addition to cultivating pro-Communist political forces in Taiwan, the Chinese Communist Party will host political figures or important cadres on trips to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, during which they will be lured, enticed, and given leverage to speak for the Chinese Communist Party and lead the way when they return to Taiwan; or they will use the business interests of Taiwanese businessmen in Taiwan as a threat to pressure leading Taiwanese business leaders to make political statements.

The CCP also manipulates civil society groups to exert pressure on the ROC government’s cross-strait reform policy, and even uses the interruption of normal cross-strait economic, trade, cultural, and educational exchanges as a tool to force domestic civil society organizations and business groups to make political statements and exert pressure on the government.

During the pre-election period, the CCP will coordinate with airlines to increase the number of flights, give preferential air tickets to Taiwanese businessmen and their families in mainland China and overseas, or give Taiwanese employees leave and air ticket subsidies, and hold mobilization activities to encourage them to return to Taiwan to vote for a specific candidate.

  1. Economy

There are frequent cases of Chinese investors coming to Taiwan to participate in investment in the name of foreign capital and Hong Kong capital, often in the form of “multi-layered re-investment”, diluting the equity of Chinese investors or concealing their identity as Chinese investors.

There are frequent cases of Chinese investors coming to Taiwan to participate in investment in the name of foreign capital and Hong Kong capital, often using the “multi-layer sub-investment” method to dilute the equity of Chinese capital, or conceal their identity as Chinese capital to invest in opportunistic investment businesses in Taiwan, or to acquire the operating rights of listed companies in Taiwan through the purchase of Taiwan shares. The competent authorities are unable to detect the situation at first, but only after receiving the report, they will trace the situation, but it has already caused irreversible damage to national security.

In addition, recently, there are also Chinese companies that set up subsidiaries and grandchildren in Taiwan in the name of Taiwanese people, directly disguising themselves as Taiwanese companies and completely avoiding the scrutiny of the Investment Commission. Take the recent case of Chinese semiconductor company “Bitmainland” as an example, it was suspected of disguising its Chinese capital status and setting up “Zhiyang” and “Xindao” in Taiwan through its subsidiaries in 2017 without the permission of the Investment Review Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The company also poached a large number of Taiwanese R&D talents with high salaries to develop artificial intelligence (AI) chips for its Chinese parent company, poaching more than 200 people in three years.

  1. Technology

The Chinese Communist Party has been stealing technology from various countries for years, and in the field of technology, it has been unscrupulous. In addition to the most common malicious poaching of Taiwanese companies’ talents with high salaries, there are also many cases of buying and selling technology to companies’ internal staff. These Chinese companies, with the full support of the Chinese Communist Party, systematically poach Taiwanese talents and steal Taiwanese technology, but after the technology is stolen, the Chinese companies will kick it away.

Not only that, but the CCP will also steal technology through hackers. The most common technique is to find loopholes in the closed-circuit surveillance systems of enterprises through networked device search engines such as Shodan, and monitor important places such as research institutes and production facilities to obtain secrets.

  1. Education

Every year, through “campus exchanges,” “visiting scholars,” “student exchanges,” and “study tours,” the Chinese Communist Party invites Taiwan scholars, school directors at all levels The CCP invites Taiwan scholars, school directors and students at all levels to visit and travel to mainland China for free.

Every year, the Communist Party of China (CPC) invites Taiwan scholars, school directors at all levels, and students to visit and travel to mainland China for free through “campus exchanges,” “visiting scholars,” “student exchanges,” and “study tours. In addition, in order to attract Chinese students to Taiwan, it has been revealed in recent years that schools are required to sign a “one-China pledge”. In addition, in order to attract Chinese students to Taiwan, the university has been asked to sign a “one-China pledge” in recent years.

Not only that, the CCP will also set up names to give participating teachers and students more prizes through organizing Taiwan business study camps and cross-strait competitions, so as to lure and bribe them; they will even use sex to lure them and control and use them for the CCP through grabbing handles; or through specific events, they will make Taiwan’s intellectual and academic circles criticize each other and become more divided, from which they can expand the CCP’s influence.

In addition, there have been cases in the past where Chinese investors have invested in school funds in an attempt to control the political orientation of schools from the financial aspect.

  1. Agriculture

On March 1 of this year, the Chinese Communist Party unilaterally announced a moratorium on the import of Taiwan pineapples, causing a shock to Taiwan’s agricultural market.

Since 1997, the Chinese Communist Party has been setting up “Cross-Strait Agricultural Cooperation Pilot Zone” and “Taiwan Farmers’ Entrepreneurship Park”; since 2006, it has been providing preferential measures such as land, rent and tax, software and hardware construction and financing to attract Taiwan’s technology, talents, varieties and capital to China. In mid-March 2021, the “22 Measures for Agriculture and Forestry” was launched with the intention of attracting more agriculture and forestry industries to China.

In recent years, Taiwan businessmen have brought a large number of agricultural products with unique species and cultivation experience to China’s Hainan Island, Guangxi and other places to plant, once the technology has matured, the Chinese side has turned around and “taken charge”, not only by smuggling or counterfeit certificates of origin and other ways to sell back to Taiwan, but also to form competition with Taiwan in the international market, since March 1 this year, the Chinese Communist Party has even unilaterally Since March 1 of this year, the Chinese Communist Party even unilaterally announced the suspension of imports of Taiwan pineapples, which caused an impact on Taiwan’s agricultural market, and is a typical example.

  1. Traditional Media

The CCP directly acquires ownership of the media and controls the editorial staff, making the media pro-communist. The picture shows a diagram of media reporters.

The ways in which the CCP infiltrates Taiwan’s media can be divided into four main categories.

First, directly controlling the media, or buying them with advertisements. The CCP directly acquires the ownership of the media and controls the editorial staff to make the media pro-communist; or pressures the media to change the direction of reporting by pumping advertisements.

Secondly, the Chinese Communist Party has invited Taiwanese media professionals to China and used money to influence journalists. The Ministry of State Security (MSS) of the Communist Party of China (CPC), in order to attract foreign journalists for its use, often contacted them by phone in their personal capacity to “provide confidential information” and when they came to meet with them, they were arrested on charges of stealing intelligence and coerced into cooperating with the MSS. “The reporters are coerced to cooperate with the Ministry of State Security.

Third, through the operation of public relations companies, to build a supply chain of information unification. After contracting with the Chinese side, some Taiwanese PR firms would invite media members to visit China and ask for assistance in promoting the CCP’s position in their reports, while the PR firms would use fake accounts to write positive articles and online messages for the CCP.

Fourth, they control the right to switch channels in public places and control the brainwashing channels. An unknown group, for a monthly fee of $500, requires TV channels in specific snack stores and restaurants to be locked to red TV channels.

  1. New Media

In order to attract young people, the CCP has actively set up “integrated media” in recent years by integrating images, videos and animations, linking internal propaganda with external propaganda and unifying propaganda caliber. In addition to its own online platform “People’s Daily”, it has also set up accounts on WeChat and Facebook. Xinhua News Agency, the official media of the CCP, also publishes news in multiple languages on the integrated media platform, expanding the scope of the CCP’s propaganda through authorized cooperation.

In 2020, the CCP will set up the first “Cross-Strait Media Center” in Guangzhou. Some experts have analyzed that the CCP’s move has the unification connotation of using integrated media as a tentacle to collect the digital media habits of the Taiwanese people, especially the young people; and using integrated media as an interface to magnetize Taiwan’s technology and talents to master Taiwan’s media communication channels, which may form the CCP’s integrated media content industry chain for Taiwan.

  1. Performing Arts and Entertainment

The CCP’s control over the performing arts and entertainment industry is very serious. The most common methods include requiring artists to undergo speech censorship and political position censorship. Pictured is artist Ouyang Nana. (Chen Bozhou/The Epoch Times)

The most common methods include requiring artists to undergo speech censorship and political censorship, and to sign a “one-China consent form” before they can perform on stage. In recent years, there have been rumors of pinkos reporting an artist for Taiwan independence and then banning the artist and demanding an apology in the form of Cultural Revolution criticism.

In addition, several Chinese-owned video streaming platforms, including Youku, Tencent and Akiyay, have recently added a clause to their contracts with film and TV companies, specifying that Hong Kong or Taiwanese artists who participate in performances must guarantee that they will not be blocked by the Chinese Communist Party within 10 years because of their political orientation, and that the platforms have the right to seek compensation if they breach the contract.

  1. Hacker attacks

Taiwan suffers from an average of 300 million hacker scans and 30 million hacker attacks per month, making it one of the top countries in the world in terms of hacking density. The picture shows the diagram of hacker.

Taiwan suffered an average of 300 million hacker scans and 30 million hacker attacks per month, can be said to be the world’s top hacking density of the country, although the number of hacking is declining year by year, but the amount of money is gradually rising, even the technology maker “Compal Computer” and “Advantech Technology “Last year was also extorted 1 billion yuan ransom, heavy losses. And the hacker’s attack techniques continue to push the new, the direction is also towards large-scale, organizational development, the future may have more and more scalpel-type precision attacks.

The investigation bureau recently said that the Republic of China government has long been attacked by foreign hackers, many signs show that the attack came from the Chinese Communist Party, the common Chinese Communist hacker organizations include: Blacktech, Taidoor, MustangPanda, APT40. these hacker organizations often target information service providers to undertake government bids, will be used as a springboard to attack government agencies. They try to steal sensitive information and people’s personal data.

  1. Triads and civil society organizations

In an interview with the Chinese Communist Party’s official media in February, Zhang Anle, president of the Unification Party, revealed that he was planning to absorb young people in south-central Taiwan through participation in events and other activities, relying on his past background in the underworld.

In an interview with the Chinese Communist Party’s official media in February this year, Zhang Anle, president of Taiwan’s pro-communist organization with a mob background, revealed that he was planning to absorb young people from southern and central Taiwan by attending events and other activities, providing them with training and aiming to turn them from green to red, with the ultimate goal of developing a red party that preaches “peaceful reunification. “The ultimate goal is to develop a red team that preaches “peaceful reunification” and even threatens a “front-line uprising.

In 2018, Al Jazzera sent undercover agents to contact members of the Patriotic Heart Association, revealing that the TPP and the Heart Association would pay people to participate in their activities, and that the CCP would support them financially; in addition, the content also mentioned that there were all kinds of gangs in the TPP, basically gangsters, and that the only reason to join the party was to bleach.

In addition, the investigation found that at least 30 local temples or religious groups have joined the party and developed the party organization when tracing the relationship between the TSP and Chinese capital.

  1. Military threat

U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Davidson also recently warned that the threat of the Communist military putting advanced weapons into training and exercises with mainland China in the Indo-Pacific region is one of the key challenges for the United States.

In addition to actively absorbing ROC military personnel as spies, stealing military secrets, and developing organizations over the years, the Chinese Communist Party’s military crackdown on Taiwan has continued unabated. In recent years, it has frequently sent military aircraft and warships to conduct military exercises in the air and sea space around Taiwan, and has even crossed the center line of the Strait several times, with a strong sense of provocation.

U.S. Army Indo-Pacific Command Commander Davidson recently warned that the threat of the Communist army putting advanced weapons into training and exercises and mainland China in the Indo-Pacific region is one of the key challenges for the United States; it is worried that the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to replace the U.S. as the world leader by 2050, and Taiwan is also one of the Chinese Communist Party’s ambitions, and is likely to face significant threats in the next six years.

The Defense Security Research Institute, a think tank of the Ministry of Defense, recently reminded that the CCP’s gray conflict against Taiwan can be divided into three levels: high, medium and low, the highest of which is military and threatening actions and supporting large-scale proxy violence.

  1. International Repression

The CCP will put pressure on international organizations to obstruct Taiwan’s opportunity to participate. Pictured is the WHO.

The CCP has been suppressing Taiwan’s international space with a zero-sum mindset for years. Through threats and inducements, it has been deliberately trying to bring the Republic of China into the one-China framework in an attempt to dismantle Taiwan’s sovereignty.

The CCP will also suppress Taiwan’s participation in international non-governmental organizations (INGO) in three main ways: first, by taking the opportunity to influence the NGO through campaigning for cadres in an attempt to dwarf Taiwan’s name; second, when the CCP joins INGO, it will demand a change in Taiwan’s membership name in exchange; and third, through pressure from other organizations, such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other international organizations, to exert pressure to to dwarf Taiwan.

After the outbreak of the CCP pneumonia (Wuhan pneumonia), the CCP would also demand that other countries withdraw their agreements with Taiwan by threatening to stop financial aid and cut off vaccine supplies and other medical assistance.
