Summary/Abstract: Cognitive warfare – controlling the behaviours and mental states of others by manipulating environmental stimuli – is becoming an increasingly common topic of interest in the global security landscape. China’s cognitive war on Taiwan, following the exploitation of Taiwan’s vulnerabilities and the capitalization on conflicting ones, leaves Taipei with a finite number of cognitive interventions. Neuro-strike, a weapon in the arsenal of the People’s Liberation Army, falls within the realm of intelligent warfare or Chinese algorithmic cognitive warfare. Alongside scalar weapons that use longitudinal electromagnetic energy, they have the ability to disrupt the brain functions of opponents and alter their opinions in the direction pursued by the People’s Republic of China.
