How Beijing is changing the way it involves itself in Taiwan’s election
Al Jazeera
Beijing is running a multi-pronged campaign to try and keep the ruling DPP from re-election in Taiwan.
A few months after Taiwanese NGO worker Cynthia Iunn bought a book titled If China Attacks from a Taiwanese bookstore in February, she started to get calls from strange numbers.
In the middle of May, she decided to answer one of them.
“I ended up talking to three different people and although they pretended to be from Taiwan, they were very clearly Chinese,” Iunn told Al Jazeera.
Initially, she thought it was a scam and expected the conversation to eventually turn to her credit card information or bank details.
Instead, Iunn was surprised when the person on the other end revealed that they knew her full name, the name of the book she had ordered in February and where she had ordered it from.
