evidence: These islands have all the requirements that make it easy for China to wage a cognitive warfare. First, the islanders’ culture and disposition are close to that on the Chinese mainland. Kinmen and Matsu did not experience Japan’s colonial rule, and historically, political rule has been sustained from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. In some cases, the residents have relatives living in China. Second, they are closer to the Chinese mainland than to the main island of Taiwan, so it will be easy to foster a sense of identity as one livelihood zone. Kinmen already receives water supply from China through underwater pipelines. This situation is similar to the relationship between Hongkong and China or between the Crimean Peninsula and Russia.[5]
