Taiwan Is Hard to Invade. The CCP Is Targeting Its People’s Will Instead, Expert Says
Taiwan is one of the hardest places on Earth to invade. Its mountains, the seas that surround it, and its few usable landing beaches have defeated the plans of great powers before. But according to a Taiwanese security scholar, the island's gravest danger is not the one that would arrive by sea—it is the quieter campaign already under way to wear down the public's will to resist until the threat no longer feels real.
Kuo Yu-jen, vice president of the Institute for National Policy Research, Taiwan's oldest private think tank, on July 4 delivered that assessment at a recent forum hosted by the Taiwan Inspiration Association.
The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) cognitive warfare—its campaign to shape opinion and sap morale—is more dangerous than any warplane or warship, he said, because it erodes trust, breeds helplessness, and gradually numbs Taiwanese people to the danger they face.

專家：入侵臺灣困難 中共轉而影響民心
臺灣是地球上最難入侵的地方之一，其山巒、環繞四周的海洋，與可登陸的海灘更是寥寥無幾，這些都致使大國的入侵計畫遭受挫敗。但根據臺灣的國安學者指出，臺灣面臨的最大威脅並非來自海上——而是那早已展開的隱蔽攻勢，目的在逐步瓦解民眾的抵抗意志，直到威脅感蕩然無存。
臺灣歷史最悠久的民間智庫「財團法人國策研究院文教基金會」副院長郭育仁，於7月4日在「台灣勵志協會」主辦的論壇上提出這項分析。
他表示，中國共產黨的認知戰——旨在塑造輿論並瓦解民心的行動——比任何戰機或軍艦都更危險。它會侵蝕信任、滋生無助感，並逐漸讓臺灣民眾對所面臨的危險失去警覺。
