Taiwan seizes chance to host foreign reporters kicked out of China
Taiwan is courting journalists fleeing China, spotting an opportunity to boost its visibility and build international support as concerns mount that Beijing is flirting with the idea of invading the country.
Last year, more than 20 journalists made the journey across the Taiwan Strait from China. Many had published articles critical of human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslim minority in Xinjiang and the government’s early handling of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

Huawei allegedly spies on Dutch telecom users including political figures, arose Dutch regulators investigation
Netherland's media De Volkskrant obtained a confidential document alleges that Huawei had access to monitor the calls of users of KPN, the largest telecommunications network in the Netherlands, 10 years ago. The Guardian reported that the confidential report, made for KPN by the Capgemini consultancy firm in 2010, concluded that Huawei could have been monitoring the calls of approximately 6.5 million users without KPN’s knowledge, including politicians such as former prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Chinese dissidents. Both KPN and Huawei deny the allegations. The Dutch telecommunications regulator announced on Monday (19 April) that it will investigate the incident.
According to the report, Huawei staff in the Netherlands and China could have monitored calls made by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, local dignitaries, and Chinese dissidents. "The continued existence of KPN Mobile is in serious danger because permits may be revoked or the government and businesses may give up their confidence in KPN if it becomes known that the Chinese government can eavesdrop on KPN mobile numbers and shut down the network", de Volkskrant quotes the report.

The Japanese authorities suspect that these hackers were instructed by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
The source revealed to the Japan Broadcasting Association, JAXA has been cyber-attacked in 2016. Tokyo police have targeted a 30-year-old Chinese system engineer, accusing him of being a member of the Chinese Communist Party. He was accused of renting domestic servers under a false name to attack the systems of multiple institutions.
He is alleged to have forwarded these server numbers and related certificates to a Chinese hacker organisation called Tick. The man has left Japan, but the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department submitted the man’s case to the prosecutor as early as Tuesday, accusing him of falsifying digital records.

China may hit back against Japan over Taiwan issue but economic action unlikely, analysts say
China is not likely to shy away from retaliating against Japan over the Taiwan issue but it is expected to take security rather than economic measures, according to analysts.
Tensions have escalated after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga discussed China-related issues with US President Joe Biden on Friday during talks at the White House. The two leaders called for “peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait”, the first reference to Taiwan – which Beijing claims as its territory – in a joint statement in over 50 years. They also said they would counter China’s “intimidation” in the Asia-Pacific region.
