Judy Sgro says security officials in Canada advised her to only bring a temporary ‘burner’ phone as a safeguard on a trip that has already prompted a warning from China
firm Recorded Future released a report detailing how RedAlpha, hackers it says are likely working for Beijing, has conducted years of espionage against various governments, think tanks and media outlets, with “consistent focus” on targets in Taiwan. These include the American Institute in Taiwan, the de facto American embassy in Taipei, Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party, and the American Chamber of Commerce, including its branch in Taiwan.
Canadian MPs are the latest in a sizable list of Western politicians visiting Taiwan to show support for the island. China encircled it with warships in August during live-fire military exercises that included the launch of ballistic missiles over Taiwan after a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In recent weeks, visitors have included legislators from the United States, France, Germany and the Czech Republic.
Ms. Sgro has travelled to Taiwan many times but she said this trip is “more important than any other time, in an effort to show our respect and unity with a democratic country.”
