Taiwan makes 60% of the world's microchips. What could possibly go wrong.

One interesting outcome of this worldwide populist-nationalist pendulum swing will be what individual countries do to deal with energy/tech/manufacturing/food supply chains and the timeline needed to change those.

It's quite likely the nationalist, xenophobes haven't even considered any of that.

Fucking weird this. They invited the press in to the big commie conference thing, then two dudes came in and told the former president, who was say next to the current one, to pack up his shit and get out. He looks mega baffled.

Erm, sorry mate, but you must have forgot that we took back control©? I'm sure the Conservative government have got a dozen microchip factories going up we speak.

Taiwan faces a deluge of cyberattacks days before a critical presidential election with experts blaming China for an unprecedented and increasingly sophisticated level of interference.

The Jan. 13 election is the first real security test of 2024 — one of the biggest years for democratic elections in history — and underlines the rising cyber threat posed by China.

Google Cloud’s cyber threat intelligence firm Mandiant warned Tuesday of a “substantial volume of espionage operations” by China against Taiwan’s government, technology and critical infrastructure, according to a statement from Ben Read, the company’s head of cyber espionage analysis. “While this type of targeting has occurred for years, the volume over the past few months has been notable.”

 

Taiwanese Vice President Lai Ching-te, who is running for president, has called attempted interference by China in this year’s election “ the most serious ever.”

And the attacks are getting harder to gauge due to the rise of artificial intelligence-powered content, which allows cyberattacks and influence campaigns to flood the digital space at a much higher clip. China, a world-leader in new AI development and investment, appears to wield the tech with a clear, vested interest in influencing Taiwan’s future and the world’s opinion on the island’s sovereignty.

At least I think I should be relatively safe commenting in this thread without someone accusing me of ulterior motives.

 

Aww woe is me. Don't post snide stuff and you won't get pulled up. It's easy really, well for most.
