LINE App is NOT a Chinese app. I started using LINE while living in Japan and still use it today. Look it up and get your information right #60 minutes

I have always known about missile attacks ever since I was born, almost. But cyber attacks seem more real. Scary times but I'm not surprised. Everything is getting worst.

What an insightful episode! People in the state also enjoys the main-stream media’s insightful news everyday too!👍🏼

This makes me sick. China now having interests in islands close now to Australia. How much control do they need?

[johntresemer]

👍 What China is doing to Taiwan is what Russia (and Murdoch) has done and is doing to USA.

Cyber war makes me think of Tokyo Rose during WWII.

I’m assuming the Taiwanese are advised by their Leaders to be aware and question the accuracy of what they see and hear on the internet!?

China has the same disinformation here in the US, across south east asia, Africa, etc.

[arttenoyan]

Taiwan is our closest neighbor. We stand with Taiwan if an invasion is attempted. About a dozen military exercise by the American military says Taiwan will be lost but just as the car in Ukraine there's still a lot of variables. If China lose half of their attacking force it will teach them a hard lesson.

I love how 60 minutes frames this, but the USA is the leader in cyberwarfare. Not only are they good, they have solid experience from film and TV and media in general.

[karissakline]

Wish the US would be as diligent about stopping disinformation from Russia as Taiwan is!

Taiwan isn’t that tiny. It’s 49 times bigger than Singapore!!!

[fpark]

CCP should know what goes around comes around.

Some food for thought: everyone should go read what Nicolas Chaillan (the guy who resigned as Pentagon software chief) has to say about how well the US is doing against China on the AI and software front.

I use Line in America. It's totally available here

We need to sever ties and not pay our debts, this is terrorism. We don’t do deals with terrorists.

That is why StarLink is such a great technology as we have also seen in Ukraine.
