China issues warrants for alleged Taiwanese hackers and bans a business for pro-independence links
On Thursday, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau announced a reward targeting over 20 suspects believed to be involved in cyber attacks connected to Taiwan's government.
Chinese authorities have charged Taiwan with organizing coordinated cyberattacks targeting critical sectors such as the military, aerospace, and technology industries across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Taiwan rejected the accusations, claiming that Beijing is attempting to deflect attention from ongoing European and Czech probes into suspected cyber espionage linked to China.
Chinese authorities have targeted 20 Taiwanese individuals with arrest warrants, accusing them of involvement in cyberattacks, and have also imposed a ban on Sicuenes International Company Ltd. due to its connections with Taiwan’s pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party .
This escalation highlights growing tensions, reflecting China’s intent to pressure Taiwan and restrict businesses linked to pro-independence supporters.
