======================================================================

Government officials in Taiwan have denied accusations of hacking from China, 
instead claiming the reverse is true. 

The Chinese government says that hacking group Anonymous 64 has been hitting 
targets in China with cyberattacks, and has released the images of three 
Taiwanese citizens it claims were members of the group. 

Taiwans premier, Cho Jung-tai, accused China of spreading fake news as a 
pretense to attack his nation, which he insisted must respond forcefully to 
the claims, with the government asking the public to report any instances of 
anti-propaganda sabotage. A wider conflict 

 Defense minister Wellington Koo also claimed Chinas accusations were untrue, 
and that China is the leading power behind hackings across the globe, 

China is the first country when it comes to daily cyberattacks, doing it 
against Taiwan and countries with similar democratic ideals. They are the 
real originators, he said. As for what they have publicized, the military has 
the conviction to defend the country and will not shirk from doing so because 
of this, and nor will it have a chilling effect. 

Taiwan recently accused China of poaching its tech engineers in order to 
boost efforts to develop and build semiconductors. Since Taiwan is the 
leading producer of semiconductors, the claims intensified tensions between 
the nations. 

The clashes between the two states are within the global context of a 
seemingly never ending back and forth between global powers , with cyber 
attacks, hacking groups, and hardware restrictions . 

With tech becoming increasingly vital not just to national security, but to 
the everyday lives of so many, its clear that the race for tech development 
and cyber security will continue to play a central role in foreign policy 
going forward.
