This move has reportedly sparked debate regarding its feasibility and effectiveness, with the NSB stating it models practices from intelligence agencies in the United States, Britain, and Israel.
Taiwan's National Security Bureau (NSB) recently announced the launch of a new online platform designed to collect intelligence from mainland China. The "contact window," established on Sunday, provides a secure channel for mainland Chinese individuals to report information related to political, military, economic, and social matters.
