Peace treaty dangerous: legislatorBy Fang Wei-li and Lery Hiciano / Staff Reporter, and Staff WriterSigning a cross-strait “peace agreement” would be the most dangerous outcome, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Puma Shen (沈伯洋) said on Friday in reaction to a think tank report on the potential economic and cyberwarfare tactics China might use on Taiwan. Photo: ReutersThe most dangerous outcome would be China forcing Taiwan into signing a “peace treaty” under duress, which would turn the invasion of the nation into a domestic issue rather than an international act of war, he said. Some lawmakers have promoted the possibility of a peace agreement, which plays into China’s plans and poses a significant threat to Taiwan, he added. China’s cyberattacks against Taiwan have increased dramatically since 2016, with recent reports saying that Beijing has been working with Russian hackers, Shen said. Taiwan should analyze and examine every small attack to prevent further exploits and fix vulnerabilities, he added.
