💨 Abstract

A report by Taiwan Information Environment Research Center reveals Chinese media uses comments by Taiwanese figures on Douyin, the Chinese TikTok, to spread negative perceptions of Taiwan. The report shows a surge in military-focused comments, particularly in October and November 2024, which were before and after the US Presidential election. The quotes were predominantly about war, Chinese military might, US scepticism theory, and cross-strait conflict.
