Scholars say that Taiwan has
been the target of a Russian-style social media disinformation
campaign by China, designed to exploit social divisions and
undermine democracy. A study by the V-Dem Institute at the
University of Gothenburg in Sweden found that Taiwan was the
territory most exposed to foreign disinformation, based on weighted
ratings by experts.

¥xÆW10¦h¦W°OªÌ¦b§Üij¤¤¨ü¶Ë (More than 10 journalists injured during opposition protests
against Chinese visit)
Reporters Without Borders deplores the violence against journalists in
Taipei in the course of protests against a visit by a Chinese government
representative during the past few days.
At least 10 journalists were injured during
protests on 6 November by supporters of the opposition
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) against the meeting in
Taipei between President Ma Ying-jeou and Chen Yunlin,
Freedom House Calls for Inquiry into Taiwan Clashes
Freedom House urges Taiwan's government to
create an independent commission to thoroughly investigate
clashes between police and activists protesting Chinese envoy
Chen Yunlin's historic visit and recommend needed reforms. ...
The clashes reveal a need for police to undergo crowd control
training that adheres to the standards used in other
democracies. Likewise, demonstrators and political advocacy
groups must recommit themselves to orderly protests that avoid
violence under any circumstances.
Also of note was the influence of owners over
the editorial content of media they acquire. After Tsai Eng-Meng,
a businessman with significant commercial interests in the PRC
purchased the China Times Group in November 2008, a series of
incidents in 2009¡Xincluding Tsai¡¦s own comments to the
media¡Xpointed to a subsequent change in editorial policy in the
direction of softening criticism of the Ma administration,
Beijing, or improvements in cross-strait ties. This also raised
concerns over the potential direct or indirect influence of the
Chinese government on free expression in Taiwan.
