flag China used fake accounts to spread disinformation in 2025, prompting Taiwan to boost global cooperation to counter it.

flag Taiwan's National Security Bureau reported on January 11, 2026, that China used Chinese IT and marketing firms to run over 45,000 fake social media accounts and spread more than 2.3 million pieces of disinformation in 2025 through coordinated cognitive warfare. flag The operations, linked to China’s Central Publicity Department and Ministry of Public Security, involved automated systems and content farms to push pro-Beijing narratives on platforms like Facebook, aiming to deepen divisions in Taiwan, weaken resistance to Chinese influence, and sway international opinion. flag In response, Taiwan is working with government agencies, fact-checkers, and social media platforms to remove false content and has held over 80 security dialogues with democratic allies to strengthen global cooperation against such influence campaigns.
