Taiwan warns China could 'paralyse' its military defences

Taiwan has sounded the alarm on a growing military threat from China. In its annual report, the defence ministry said China can use its internet army to launch wired and wireless attacks, which would paralyse Taiwan’s military command centres, as well as its naval and air forces. The report also said that Chinese spies in Taiwan could launch a "decapitation strike" to destroy the island’s political and economic infrastructure. It added that China’s deployment of missiles and increased military exercises showed its attempt to delay possible foreign intervention in an attack on Taiwan.
