【Citizen Autonomous Defense in Cognitive Warfare】

"War is not a matter for a few people; defending Taiwan is the responsibility of every Taiwanese."

This lecture invites Mr. He, Cheng-hui, CEO and Co-founder of "Kuma Academy", to discuss citizen autonomous defense in cognitive warfare. Particularly, the patterns of modern warfare are constantly changing and the difficulty in distinguishing the authenticity of information online, we need to establish "mental defenses" to resist these attacks.

Faced with the risk of war, it is useless to evade or ignore it, because you cannot decide when war will happen. Taiwan is not an aggressor but a defender, all you can do is prepare yourself. Only when we know more about the real situation, the less likely we are to misbelieve rumors.
