Overview
- Taiwan's National Security Bureau launched a bilingual webpage on Sunday, June 14, 2026, inviting Chinese nationals at home and abroad to submit intelligence-related tips through a secure channel.
- The site opens with a one-minute promotional video that the bureau said was AI-generated and that shows a Chinese civil servant witnessing colleagues being investigated and removed from their posts.
- The NSB published step-by-step security guidance for would-be informants, including advice to use non-Chinese devices, factory resets, VPNs and private browsing, and the site is blocked inside mainland China.
- Taipei framed the initiative as following practices used by U.S., British and Israeli agencies and said the move responds to a reported rise in Chinese espionage approaches and people seeking to provide information.
- Beijing had no immediate public response and Taiwan's public outreach is likely to prompt diplomatic rebukes and reciprocal information measures while exposing potential sources to legal and personal danger under Chinese law.
