Taiwanese people are “frustrated” with “malicious” Chinese interference in their elections, but they did a “very good job” of identifying misinformation early, Foundation for Defence of Democracies Senior Fellow Mark Montgomery says.
The Taiwanese elections have been described as a choice between peace and war in a race that has drawn global tension.
“I’m not sure – I think the Taiwanese did a very good job at identifying disinformation early, getting stories squashed as quickly as they could, so it may not influence the results much.
“It is a close election … this is going to be decided by a few points, so any interference is bad.
“The interference does sometimes have a negative effect, when properly discovered and reported, people are somewhat frustrated at Chinese malicious activity.”
