Report: Chinese regime plans war on 3 fronts against Taiwan

It seems that the Chinese Communist Party is planning a war on several fronts against Taiwan. That is to say, we are no longer talking only about a war to measure the armed forces of two countries, but also about other strategies with magnitudes that could be devastating. Let's see what it's all about. Nikkei Asia Magazine reported on November 26th that China's armed forces are increasingly engaged in a non-military war against Taiwan, and the main tactics that the communist regime plans to use are disinformation and manipulation. This was revealed in an annual report on China's security, which was published by the National Institute for Defense Studies, NIDS, in Japan. This report mainly emphasizes the cognitive warfare being adopted by the Chinese vanguard, and as the data reveals, the CCP plans to use social media platforms and cyberspace to gather and manage information to its advantage. The regime is therefore conducting highly diversified influence operations that include public opinion warfare to influence people's understanding, psychological warfare that induces fear, and legal warfare where the battle is in court. Put more simply, the Chinese regime envisions the use of three wars along with military operations which, according to the report, are wide-ranging and pose a major threat to Taiwan. To give an example, the Chinese regime could spread disinformation, sail warships in the area adjacent to Taiwan, and conduct military exercises to cause mass panic on the island. The report highlights that the CCP seeks to win without fighting before the U.S. military moves in to intervene. That is why it has created the Strategic Support Force to execute influence operations as part of Xi's 2015 military reforms. This unit is responsible for conducting cyber and electronic warfare as well as space operations. The document notes that Taiwan suffered 1.4 billion cyberattacks between September 2019 and August 2020. The attacks hit political, economic, and military entities and were apparently attempts to destroy or steal data. In August, when U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited, there was a wave of cyberattacks believed to be China-related. Digital billboards at convenience stores and near a major train station were reportedly hacked to display messages critical of Pelosi and the trip. In addition, there is said to be evidence that Chinese actors are spreading harmful information under the guise of Taiwanese users. For example, in April 2020, Hu director Tedros Ghebreyesus said that he had been the target of online insults from Taiwanese accounts. At the time, Taiwan responded by saying that the insults came from China but were disguised as Taiwanese. China also used the media to increase pressure on Taiwan shortly after the Russia-Ukraine war broke out. For example, the Chinese regime affiliated newspaper, The Global Times, published an editorial stating that Taiwan's quote-unquote pro-independence factions could not rely on the United States to achieve their goals. It is important to clarify that the CCP regards Taiwan as a rebel province and does not recognize it as an independent and sovereign nation. But now, tensions between the two countries are on the rise to such an extent that it seems that a war could break out at any moment.
