flag Over 10,000 Taiwanese joined China-backed religious trips in 2024, raising sovereignty concerns.

flag Over 10,000 Taiwanese citizens took part in religious trips to China in 2024, many organized or supported by Chinese government-linked entities, according to a Taiwan-based study by IORG. flag The research identified over 110 such events, seen by Taiwan’s government as part of Beijing’s broader influence campaign under its United Front strategy. flag While China claims to protect religious freedom, it strictly controls religious activities. flag Taiwan’s security agencies warn these exchanges promote narratives of shared heritage and reunification, potentially undermining its sovereignty and serving as a form of soft power. flag The study is the first comprehensive look at the scale of these religious outreach efforts.
