Xi Jinping may be losing power, and the PLA is in chaos after mass purges, but that doesn’t mean Taiwan is safe. A full-scale invasion looks unlikely, yet Beijing is advancing a far more insidious strategy: political subversion. In Taiwan, Beijing’s proxies in parliament are weaponizing “reforms,” slashing defense budgets, crippling watchdogs, and even trying to hijack the government’s wallet. We’ve seen this playbook before—in South Korea and Hong Kong—where pro-Beijing forces hollowed out democratic institutions from within. Taiwan faces the same danger today. The battlefield isn’t on the Strait; it’s inside Taiwan’s own political system.
