Taiwan has long been a target for information manipulation. Now, as disinformation grows more sophisticated -- and AI content floods the digital space -- the challenge is intensifying. From civil society initiatives to journalists on the front lines of verification, we examine how Taiwan is pushing back against false narratives and deceptive content, and what its efforts reveal about democratic resilience.

With Taiwan heading to the polls later this year, could disinformation reshape the political landscape? And how is AI making the fight even tougher for fact-checkers?

In this latest edition of #CorrespondentsOnTaiwanPlus, host Andrew Ryan speaks with Billion Lee, co-founder of Taiwan-based fact-checking platform Cofacts, and TaiwanPlus defense reporter Alan Lu for insight and analysis.
