Suspicious videos surfaced in Taiwan this month showing the nation’s leader promoting cryptocurrency investments. President Tsai Ing-wen, who has taken a firm stance against Beijing’s autonomy control, was perceived to make claims in these videos that the government was helping to develop investment software for digital currencies. However, the appearance of her mouth and voice led the Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau to determine the videos as deepfakes, likely created by Chinese agents in an effort to spread disinformation and damage Tsai’s reputation ahead of a January election. Taiwan, however, has been resilient against the onslaught of disinformation, with a mature community of fact checkers, government investments, international media literacy partnerships, and a public sense of skepticism which has helped its citizens to detect suspicious narratives. Although China has been trying to interfere in the democratic process of Taiwan, its efforts have been less effective in recent elections, as voters have expressed support for the current president despite the disinformation campaigns. The Taiwanese government remains committed to combatting disinformation and misinformation while maintaining a delicate balance between preserving freedom of information and preventing manipulation. While the disinformation war continues, local fact checkers are working hard to debunk fake news and false claims which have been damaging to society and political institutions. Taiwan continues to seek innovative ways to bolster media literacy and ward off the threats posed by disinformation campaigns.
