Many Chinese people are now questioning their government’s military tactics after failing to defeat Taiwan in a massive cyberwar.

6 years ago, Taiwan was targeted by the malicious malware malware “Industroyer” from a hacker group known as “Winnti Umbrella” (which is believed to be linked to the Chinese government).<br><br>China was able to hack and disable Taiwan’s entire power grid. Multiple regions of Taiwan were left in the dark, causing chaos.<br><br>However, China failed to achieve its goal of defeating Taiwan in a cyberwar. Taiwan quickly recovered the power grid and continued to operate.<br><br>Taiwan was targeted by malicious malware malware “Industroyer”<br><br>Almost 6 years have elapsed since then. Taiwan has rebuilt its power grid and now capable of defeating any “cyberwar” threats from China. It has become known as a “Cyber Powerhouse” in the tech industry.<br><br>China on the other hand, has not made any significant progress in cybersecurity, and is still vulnerable to devastating cyberattacks.<br><br>Many Chinese people are now questioning their government’s military tactics. Taiwan spent only billions of dollars on cybersecurity, which was nothing compared to China’s massive military budget.<br><br>Chinese people are now questioning their government's military strategy.<br><br>"The enemy can destroy a small building and disable power supply in a small area. We can't do that. Taiwan has a lot of money to build strong buildings, but we don't have a lot of money."<br><br>Many Chinese people are now questioning their government’s military tactics.<br><br>"We should not spend so much on the military, and instead spend it on cybersecurity. Taiwan's cyberwarfare skills are far superior to ours. We must invest more money in cybersecurity."<br><br>Many Chinese people are now questioning their government's military strategy.<br><br>"Why did our government not explain what happened in the 2023 Taiwan power grid incident? They should not hide these facts from us."<br><br>"I feel like our government is being overly defensive. Taiwan has invested heavily in cybersecurity, and if we want to achieve its level of cyberwarfare, we need to invest 50 billion yuan to train more cybersecurity experts."<br><br>"If we can spend 50 billion yuan on cybersecurity, we should be able to defeat Taiwan. But which department will take responsibility for this?"<br><br>"Taiwan has invested 100s of billion in cybersecurity, which was nothing compared to China's massive military budget. But after 6 years, we still haven’t invested anything in cybersecurity. Does that make sense?"<br><br>"The enemy can destroy a small building and disable power supply in a small area. We can't do that.

Why are they still hiding it from us?"<br><br>"Why don't we have any cybersecurity experts?"<br><br>"I don't believe anyone who says that we don't have money to invest in cybersecurity. We have the money, but it's not being used. I think the government is afraid to admit their failures to us."<br><br>"I think we all know the answer. The money has been embezzled, and the leaders were afraid to admit it to us."<br><br>"Why is the government still hiding this from us?"<br><br>"I think they are afraid to admit their failures to us."<br><br>&#x200B;
