Taiwan's Internet Army (cyber army)
 

Space News (2024-9-16):  In the war game, Taiwan experienced disruptions to its satellite communications via jamming and cyberattacks. Taiwan also learned that several of its key undersea communications cables were cut.  China also locally launched drone strikes against Taiwan's microwave stations, electrical supply system and cell towers, as well as additional jamming of OneWeb signals, lead to widespread communication outages and public panic. At this point, the Eutelsat OneWeb team refused to offer additional communications support to Taiwan beyond existing contracts. The Taiwan team urgently asked Washington for additional immediate military and communications support. Washington could not meet this request...The game spotlighted how vulnerable Taiwan's current communication systems are to military assaults.   China could conceivably absorb Taiwan in a relatively bloodless war. spacenews.com/war-game-chinese-attacks-communications-paralyze-taiwan/

Politico (2024-9-11): China's strategy to annex Taiwan is more about Cyber Power than Firepower.

Voice of America (2024-9-23): China's national security ministry said  a Taiwan military-backed hacking group called Anonymous 64  has sought to upload and broadcast "content that denigrates the mainland's political system and major policies," on websites, outdoor screens and network TV stations, but many of the websites Anonymous 64 claimed to have accessed were fake or had little no traffic.

Radio Free Asia (2024-9-23): The Chinese state security ministry said it had filed a case against three active members of the Taiwanese military's cyberwarfare command, known as the Information, Communications, and Electronic Force, or ICEFCOM, who are directly involved with Anonymous 64.

Al Jazeera (2022-4-4): Taiwan's cyber warfare unit, while small, staffed by 2,400 specialists, it is dwarfed by the PLA’s hackers which could be as many as 100,000. The Taiwanese would stand little chance as PLA hackers unleashed a wide spectrum of attacks crippling everything from electricity grids, internet providers and telecommunications, effectively blinding the Taiwanese population. Electronic banking would be shut down, airports and military airfields paralysed. This is one of the key strategic weapons of the Chinese military and would be used in the opening phase of an attack. Their troops are highly trained and extremely effective in offensive cyber warfare techniques.aljazeera.com/features/2022/4/4/how-difficult-would-it-be-for-china-to-invade-taiwan

Global Times (2024-9-23): Investigations into three perpetrators related to Taiwan's ‘internet army’ launched -  The organization behind "Anonymous 64" is a cyber-environment analysis center under the "Information, Communications and Electronic Force Command (ICEFC)." This center is specifically responsible for conducting cyber cognitive warfare and public opinion warfare against the mainland.

The ICEFC was established in June 2017 as the "fourth military branch" of the Taiwan authorities and was restructured in 2022 as a direct agency of the "defense department" of the island. It primarily handles electronic warfare, information warfare, cyber warfare, and military line maintenance, serving as the main force for the island of Taiwan's cyber operations against the mainland. 


 

 

  CNBC (USA), 2024-9-13:"a large number of foreign IPs launched invalid queries" on stock exchange network, resulting in “unstable service for a short period of time.  Local media reported this attack on the Taiwanese government and financial unites, including airports and tax bureaus by a pro-Russian hacker group was in retaliation for comments made by Taiwanese President William Lai.cnbc.com/2024/09/13/pro-russian-hackers-crash-taiwan-stock-exchange-website-local-media-reports-.html   (Taiwan's internet army has not responded till now)

 

  China Times (中時) , 2024-9-14: President Lai Ching-te being suffered deeply from former president Tsai Ing-wen's internet army certainly know their evil-nature and serious consequence might caused, therefore Lai begged Tsai for mercy.  However, after taking the power, Lai chooses to use same (even worse) means to deal with those 'opponents' (蔡英文網軍手段之惡質,後果之嚴重,相信曾深受網軍攻擊所苦的賴清德不會不曉得。曾拜託蔡總統停止網軍攻擊的賴清德,當上總統後,顯然選擇了食髓知味、變本加厲,確定成為新一代的魔戒繼承人)

 

  China Times (中時) , 2024-9-15: Despite insufficient evidence, 40% Taiwanese think TPP chair Ko Wen-je is treated equally by the prosecution - whyprobably because of government's propaganda (「曾參殺人」的媒體效應「宣傳四部曲」所致)  -  "Central Kitchen" creating message, the internet army and the media adding fuel to the flames leads to Goebbels effect - "a lie spoken a thousand times becomes a truth"    (中央出菜、媒體造浪、網軍助攻、百姓久聽而信)  ... President Lai Ching-te does not disagree, or even sort of praise (意有所指讚揚) the internet army calling for doxing those opposition lawmakers' (supporting Congress reform)  children's personal data.   Taiwanese singer Ariel Lin (林依晨) attracts cyberbullying just because of saying "I am a ChengDu people ". (「我是成都人」)

 

United Daily (聯合報) , 2024-5-13: The administration uses internet army to monitor all Taiwanese people and the opposition parties; The investigation and the prosecution both must see which political party you are in before handling the legal cases

United Daily (聯合報) ,  2024-5-16:  The "internet army" is Tsai Ing-wen government's innovation, so original !
為執政者開脫或粉飾太平
); actually, they are dividing the people and confusing social cognition.  
China Times,  2024-5-18:  The incoming deputy secretary-general to the president
Ho, Mark Chih Wei admitted he was one member of Taiwan's "Internet Army", which was criticized as making fake news to mislead the public, untrue propaganda to attack the opposition, and creating media framing effect.

 Global Times 2021-3-29 : At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the infamous "online army" masterminded an attack against the World Health Organization (WHO),  the DPP's "online army" which manipulated and meddled in an online public opinion field of more than 20 million people on the island.  GT found out that the departments affiliated to the DPP administration and relevant foundations are the financial supporters and "base camp" for these online "army" forces.  "The DPP can collude with social media such as PTT, Facebook, print media, electronic media, and TV programs".    globaltimes.cn/page/202103/1219763.shtml

The China Times, 4-9-2020 editorial

中時社論》台灣的網路霸凌揚威國際  ( Cyber Bullying from Taiwan came out top in international )
https://www.chinatimes.com/opinion/20200409005466-262101?chdtv

The phenomenon of cyber bullying in Taiwan is very serious, a huge number of internet army, cyber worriers (netizens) run wild against law and reason, some are founded by politicians etc,  some others just followed suit, or were misled by certain groups,  took turns to attack certain targets.
They have two powerful weapons -  (1) violent language (2) fake news.   楊蕙如, a leader of internet army related to the ruling party (DPP) used these two weapons to successfully force an excellent Taiwanese diplomat in Japan to kill himself not long ago.
After Presidential election, the internet army/cyber force even attacked international people, therefore became vanguard for Taiwanese government, the latest case is personal attacking WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who counterattacked Taiwan in a press conference at 4-8-2020.  NHK of Japan reported recently about Taiwan's cyber violence,  the "braveness"  behavior of Taiwanese netizens are now formidable renown worldwide .

WHO's performance on the CoronaVirus event has discussion space, but Taiwan's officials, internet army, and pan-Green media worked together to do personal attacks and cyber bullying, showing their true color and ugly face to the entire world. (台灣官方、網軍、親綠媒體聯手攻擊,完全超越理性討論問題的範疇,淪為人身攻擊與網絡霸凌,真的是「讓世界看到台灣」)

Taiwan's "political roaches" are really too many and are fierce and antagonistic vengeful.  Both pan-Blue and pan-Green founded cyber force of their own. 

The sadness thing is internet army members don't feel shamed about whatever they did, instead, regarded it as an honour, and was happy to repeatedly make fake news and cyber bullying.  The authority used all means to support or cover up 楊蕙如, without conducting investigations after the whole thing were explored.   There are lots more 'hit-man' out there in Taiwan.

Taiwan denied what WHO chief claimed
 

 
  BBC  4-10-2020  Taiwan foreign ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou said the comments  were "irresponsible" and the accusations "imaginary"
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he had been subjected to racist comments and death threats for months. "Giving me names, black or negro,... the abuse had originated from Taiwan, and the foreign ministry didn't disassociate" itself from it".

 
  The answer seems simple to me, Taiwan can sue or not sue those mainstream media for fake news, etc,  either way the truth might come out !  
  just like  "Trump campaign sues Wisconsin TV station over critical ad
" (New York Times, 4-13-2020 news ), and some French politician planed to sue
  Chinese govt. to make clear CoronaVirus issue ...  But, till July 4, 2020, a long time passed, Taiwan govt. has not brought any lawsuit against any media, 
  therefore, it's within reason to conclude Taiwan engaged in attacking WHO chief . 

 

Ho Ching (Singapore's first lady) on Facebook at 4-15-2020 attached a video film namely "蔡英文網軍橫行闖禍" (Taiwan Tsai I. W.'s internet army have been rampaging and got into trouble, Taiwan's face-mask diplomacy fails ).      ps https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20200415003825-260405?chdtv
 

 

   

◆  Who insulted WHO chief ?   More important thing is Taiwanese govt. should take responsibility for cyber force's (internet army, or netizens) being cruel, mean and dark for a long time ―  they even threatened or scared some nurses working very hard to save confirmed Corona-virus patients (壹電視 Next TV news)

 

  ◆   Reuters news quoted Taiwan president Tsai I. W.'s words "For years, we have been excluded from international organisations, and we know better than anyone else what it feels like to be discriminated against and isolated" .   However, Taiwan's local discrimination or isolation has existed for a long time, according to Western study & report and the site.  
More articles recently about Taiwan's discrimination : Voice of America 7-6-2020: Why Hong Kongers Who Fear China Won’t Flood Into Nearby, Democratic Taiwan)  then this society — friendly but not that friendly. If the overseas workers want to compete [for] a job, these people will be heavily discriminated 。LA Times  4-10-2020: (Taiwanese fear discrimination at home) Taiwan’s government itself treats returnees from Hubei more rigorously than it does people flying back from heavily infected Western countries...... like hundreds of other returnees to Taiwan from mainland China, she fears she’ll be the victim of a damaging social stigma that also has the island’s government concerned.    United Daily 5-7-2020, editorial : "

  ◆  Everyone can understand Taiwan wants to join WHO, but Taiwanese should try to work it out by reputable way, not low class way.   It worsens if Taiwan government lied about it.    霸凌(Chinese version)

(  brief: 台灣是否曾在去年底通報新冠肺炎「人傳人」。陳時中秀出當初的電子郵件,內文其實未提到人傳人;但他稱確曾「強烈暗示」。

... 我國疾管署一月六日曾發新聞稿,說病毒是否人傳人,「將成未來觀察重點」。十六日,我派赴武漢的專家返台後也說,「還不清楚是否人傳人」。如今,陳時中為何咬死我國去年底即已示警?)

A query or a warning from Taiwanese government's email  ??  UDN's editorial comments it's a query, instead of a warning !  (那封信是根據大陸媒體報導的武漢疫情,向世衛詢問進一步資訊,所述疫情正是武漢衛健委通報世衛的訊息。台灣拿同一通報內容徵詢世衛組織,卻聲稱是「預警」,陳時中的說法恐站不住腳)


Foxnews  4-13-2020:  The WHO denied that Taiwan ever alerted them to the potential person-to-person spread of the virus, but Taiwan's CDC said that because they specifically mentioned "atypical pneumonia" – reminiscent of SARS, which is transmitted via human contact – "public health professionals could discern from this wording that there was a real possibility of human-to-human transmission of the disease," ......(brief)


 

White House (whitehouse.gov) said at 4-15-2020 that Taiwan contacted the WHO on Dec. 31 after seeing reports of "Human-to-human transmission" of CoronaVirus, but the WHO kept it from the public.

Telegraph.co.uk  4-9-2020 :

Social media accounts of Mr Tedros have consistently been flooded with angry comments, some derogatory, and many accusing him ......“Taiwan, the foreign ministry also, they know the campaign. They didn’t disassociate themselves,” Mr Tedros said. “They even started criticising me in the middle of all that insult and slur, but I didn’t care.”

Taipei has complained that its exclusion has meant it can’t receive and share crucial, timely data, creating a dangerous loophole in the global health system.
