China has stepped up efforts to infiltrate Taiwan, says President Tsai

Taiwan president, Tsai Ing-Wen, says China has stepped up its effort to infiltrate and gain influence in Taiwan.

The president made the comment after a national security meeting.

Tsai who did not give specific incidents said she had called on the country’s national security agencies to find ways to tackle China moves.

She said Taiwan would counter military aggression in its strait, vowing to boost defence capabilities including military equipment and recently launched program to build submarines locally.
