Taiwan ranks ninth on China infiltration list‘HEAVILY INFLUENCED’: Cambodia ranked first and Singapore second in overall infiltration by China, but Taiwan ranked first with regards to infiltration of mediaBy Su Yung-yao and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerTaiwan ranked ninth in a list of 36 countries most infiltrated by China, Taipei-based think tank Doublethink Lab said yesterday, citing the results of its survey. The indicators were further divided into three layers — engagement with China, pressure from China and their effects — he said. “For example, Taiwan is ranked ninth overall, but in terms of infiltration of the media it is ranked number one,” he said. Cambodia is mainly influenced by China in the areas of law enforcement, and military and diplomatic affairs. Singapore is mostly influenced by China through its tech sector, followed by academic research and economy, while Thailand’s military and law enforcement are heavily influenced by Beijing.
