Chinese Communist Party Covert Operations Against Taiwan
Report by Peter Mattis and Cheryl Yu
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - “Intelligence Operations: Taiwan faces persistent espionage threats, with 84 cases investigated in a recent year leading to 39 prosecutions. Current trends include increased financial incentives for recruitment of sub-sources, targeting military personnel at operational levels rather than just senior leadership, requiring loyalty oaths and surrender pledges from recruited agents, and direct attempts to influence Taiwan’s political discourse and media.”
Download the new report by former CIA analyst Peter Mattis, currently the president of the Jamestown Foundation, and Cheryl Yu, a fellow in China Studies at the Jamestown Foundation, with a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance, where she produced an independent research project on the impact of the CCP’s surveillance of Chinese students in the United States. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Taiwan’s National Chengchi University (NCCU).
I would like to also recommend anyone in the U.S. looking for a post-graduate or graduate degree to consider NCCU where they provide English-language degrees in Asia-Pacific geopolitical studies (as well as financial assistance).
