flag China uses religious and matchmaking events in Fujian to influence Taiwan's youth and challenge its sovereignty, Taiwan warns.

flag Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Minister Shen Yu-chung warned that China is using religious exchanges and cross-strait matchmaking events—particularly in Fujian Province—to subtly influence Taiwan’s society and promote a shared identity that challenges its sovereignty. flag Over 16,000 Taiwanese participated in such events last year, many involving pro-Beijing messaging and efforts to reframe figures like Matsu as Chinese deities. flag Shen said these initiatives are part of a broader soft-power strategy targeting youth, alongside increased disinformation campaigns, including fabricated news and U.S.-based pro-China narratives, aimed at undermining confidence in American support for Taiwan. flag The government remains vigilant.
