Public concern about Taiwan’s national security arose after monitors in multiple convenience stores and a train station in Taiwan were hacked as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began a controversial visit. The government of China regards Taiwan as a breakaway province and had expressed strong opposition to the visit. The screens projected messages accusing Pelosi of triggering wars, and telling her to get out.
As Pelosi prepared to meet Taiwanese officials on Wednesday, commuters at the Xin Zuoying station in Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s third-biggest city, were surprised to see this message on an electronic billboard: “The old witch’s visit to Taiwan is a serious provocation to the sovereignty of the Motherland… Greater China will ultimately be unified!”
