The platform gives people inside China a secure channel to share information with Taiwanese authorities. Officials said the site responds to a growing number of individuals from mainland China who have sought ways to pass information in recent years.
Background on the Initiative Taiwanese officials stated the effort aims to expand intelligence collection amid heightened security concerns. They pointed to economic difficulties and tighter political controls in China as factors driving public discontent.
