Taiwan’s National Security Bureau (NSB) announced the launch of a new online contact portal that allows Chinese citizens to voluntarily provide information on political, military, economic, and social developments in China. The NSB said the initiative was established under Taiwan’s National Intelligence Work Act and was modeled in part on public outreach and reporting mechanisms used by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and intelligence agencies in countries such as the United Kingdom and Israel.
To reduce the risk of surveillance, the NSB recommends a series of security measures for prospective contacts, including the use of non-Chinese mobile devices, factory-reset devices, Wi-Fi networks that do not require real-name registration, VPN services, Western-developed web browsers, and private browsing modes. The agency said all submitted information will undergo technical screening, verification, and evaluation by specialized teams before any follow-up contact is initiated.
Alongside the portal, the NSB released a one-minute AI-generated promotional video titled “Change,” depicting an atmosphere of uncertainty among Chinese officials under China’s political system and encouraging people both inside and outside China to share information and “be the change.”
