A security official watching Chinese activity in Taiwan told Reuters the Taipei government believed Beijing was engaged in "cognitive warfare" to "create chaos" and undermine public trust in how the pandemic is being handled.
"They are trying to highlight the efficacy of the Chinese vaccines and how the government is blindly pinning its hopes on vaccines from the United States and home-made vaccines."
China's Taiwan Affairs Office told Reuters "most" Taiwanese hoped they could access Chinese vaccines, and called on Taiwan to remove "political obstacles."
