Listen now
Description
In recent years, countries like Russia, Iran and China have started to ramp up their efforts to influence public opinion, interfere in democratic process, and undermine democratic regimes. Influence operations, including propaganda, disinformation, and psychological warfare have become one of the key avenues through which powers aim to exert influence. Taiwan, which is under continuous and growing pressures from China, has been at the forefront of developing strategies to increase population's resilience and effectively combat threats stemming from malign influence operations. So what is the current state of Taiwan's information ecosystem and what can the EU learn from Taiwan? And are there any areas where the EU and the US could cooperate with Taiwan? This and more will be discussed in this new episode of Voice for CHOICE, with a special guest, Puma Shen.  This month's guest Puma Shen, Legislator in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, Founder of Doublethink Lab and Kuma Academy See notes Testimony for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Taiwan’s Experience and Response to China’s Influence and Interference China Index Narrative Intelligence: Detecting Chinese and Russian Information Operations to Disrupt NATO Unity Influence Campaigns from Iran, China, Russia Ramping up Ahead of Elections, Microsoft Finds The Chinese Communist Party’s Political Warfare Directed Against Taiwan: Overview and Analysis An analysis on the impact of false information on Taiwanese voters
