Influence warfare is a strategic action that aims to change the attitudes, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors of target audiences to achieve specific goals. Malicious actors often use social media platforms to spread misinformation, manipulate public opinion, and even disrupt government operations. The impact of influence warfare is intensifying due to the fierce competition between authoritarian and democratic countries in a geopolitically complex environment. Examining the CCP's strategies in Taiwan and international opinion manipulation, their objectives include weakening Taiwanese unity and swaying international perspectives on Taiwan through distortion of facts to achieve their political goal of annexing Taiwan. The CCP actively uses social media to launch 'three warfare' attacks by spreading false information, conducting cyberwarfare, and spreading rumors to confuse audiences. Additionally, they leverage state propaganda to intensify cognitive warfare, dividing and influencing the psychological and behavioral tendencies of the Taiwanese people. Furthermore, the CCP manipulates international media platforms through various methods to create a favorable international opinion environment and solidify its global position and political interests. To effectively counter these threats and challenges, countries need to strengthen international promotion of national sovereignty and development rights, enhance societal defense resilience, raise media literacy among the public, and bolster international cooperation to resist CCP's infiltration tactics and psychological warfare, safeguarding stability and freedom in democratic societies.

In China, there is a rare surname 'Jiao' with only around 300 descendants living in a few villages in Hu'nan. This surname brings awkwardness as it sounds like 'what's your name?' and even 'moaning.' Some young 'Jiao' individuals opt to use their maternal surnames to avoid confusion. The origin of the surname dates back to a Ming dynasty official named 'Zhongkang' who settled in Hu'nan during wartime, choosing to adopt the 'Jiao' surname, though the reason and original surname remain a mystery. This surname is among the rarest in China with only 3,500 Han surnames currently in use.

In ancient China, due to the underdeveloped medical knowledge, many young girls were forced into marriage, not only to continue the family line but also for the parents to receive compensation. Most ancient Chinese girls would marry around the age of thirteen or fourteen, such as Tang Dynasty's Li Shimin's eldest granddaughter who married him at the age of 13. This tradition was a result of feudal discrimination against women and the need for a larger population for warfare and productivity. Laws were even established to enforce early marriage, threatening imprisonment for families who did not comply. These practices reflect a dark aspect of history that is unthinkable by modern standards.
