Chinese authorities have announced bounties on 18 Taiwanese military personnel accused of psychological operations and spreading messages deemed "separatist" by Beijing.

On Sat, Oct 11, 2025, police in Xiamen offered rewards up to $1,400 for information leading to the arrest of these individuals, described as core members of Taiwan's psychological warfare division.

Authorities released photographs, names, and identification numbers, alleging these individuals operated disinformation websites, created games promoting independence, and produced misleading videos. Xiamen's public security bureau accused them of inciting "separatist activities."

Taiwan's Defence Ministry dismissed these allegations as attempts to divide the population and engage in "cognitive warfare."

On Fri, Oct 10, 2025, the US threatened a 100% tariff on Chinese imports in response to China's rare-earth metals export controls.

The announcement follows Taiwan President William Lai Ching-te's pledge to enhance defenses with a new air protection system and increased military spending. This has drawn criticism from Beijing, with the Chinese Foreign Ministry labeling Lai as a "troublemaker."

Beijing asserts sovereignty over Taiwan and has increased military and political pressure on the island. Despite this, Taiwan continues to reject such claims.

The bounty announcement coincides with broader US-China tensions. On Fri, Oct 10, 2025, the US threatened a 100% tariff on Chinese imports in response to China's rare-earth metals export controls. There is also uncertainty surrounding a potential meeting between US and Chinese leaders at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

James Zimmerman, former chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, has expressed concerns about the implications of these disputes.

While the US remains Taiwan's principal security partner, recent actions have raised concerns regarding its reliability as a trading partner.
