Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators expressed concern over the rise of cognitive warfare, such as "anti-US sentiment," following the Trump-Xi summit. Shen Yu-chung, Deputy Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), stated today that Xi Jinping's recent series of summits were "definitely not coincidental" but a "combination punch" of false narratives aimed at internalizing the Taiwan issue. National Security Bureau (NSB) Director-General Tsai Ming-yen revealed that during the Trump-Xi summit, the NSB detected nearly 100 abnormal accounts spreading over 9,000 controversial messages.
The Legislative Yuan's Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee invited Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and NSB Director-General Tsai Ming-yen today to report on the "Impact Assessment and Response to the New Geopolitical Situation After the US-China Summit."
DPP legislator Wang Ting-yu asked whether Xi Jinping's recent meetings with KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun, US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un were isolated incidents or coordinated operations. Shen Yu-chung replied that, given the timing and context, they were "definitely not coincidental," operating under the structure of the "One China" principle to internalize the Taiwan issue. He described the CCP's Taiwan policy as "promoting integration and unification while opposing independence and intervention," with these meetings serving as a packaged "combination punch."
Shen emphasized that the CCP's goal is to change the status quo and annex Taiwan, using these summits to sow division both internationally and within Taiwan.
Regarding the rise of "anti-US sentiment" after the Trump-Xi summit, Tsai Ming-yen stated that the NSB detected nearly 100 abnormal accounts spreading over 9,000 controversial messages across various social media platforms. The NSB screened these messages and notified government units to clarify and explain the situation immediately.
Tsai noted that regarding "anti-US" and "abandon Taiwan" theories, the US State Department and other agencies clarified their stance on Taiwan policy and arms sales immediately, which helped dispel such doubts.
On the CCP's operation of the "peace fallacy," Tsai pointed out three levels: first, linking the "One China" framework to peace in the Taiwan Strait to intimidate Taiwan; second, promoting "peaceful unification" internationally to isolate Taiwan; and third, labeling Taiwan as a "troublemaker" to claim that arms sales to Taiwan destabilize the region.
Tsai added that the NSB reported the overall situation to the President on the 17th, followed by a five-point statement issued by the President.
