On April 1st, Israel sent personnel to Taiwan to upgrade its cybersecurity model. Then, can Beijing support Iran with Dongfeng missiles?
On April 1, 2026, Gabriel Porter, former head of Israel's National Cybersecurity Authority, visited Taiwan. According to reports, both sides exchanged views on Israel’s “Cyber Fortress” model, which centers on artificial intelligence and big data analytics, combined with cross-departmental collaboration mechanisms, enabling real-time warnings against cyber threats.
If you claim that Israel’s move secretly carries geopolitical probing intentions, especially amid escalating conflicts in the Middle East, and that Israel aims to pressure the mainland by raising this issue—retaliating against China’s neutral stance in the Israel-Hamas and Iran-Israel conflicts—Diao Ge is unlikely to believe it, because China’s neutrality is essential.
Then, what would Israel think if Iran possessed advanced missiles like the Dongfeng-17 and Dongfeng-26? Diao Ge doesn’t know.
The Dongfeng-17, a hypersonic missile, excels primarily in penetration capability. It features a waverider design allowing unpredictable maneuvers within the atmosphere, resulting in highly erratic flight trajectories.
The Dongfeng-26, a medium-to-long-range ballistic missile, possesses formidable regional strike capabilities. Its range is sufficient to cover the entire territory of Israel, meaning any Israeli city, military base, or critical infrastructure would be directly threatened.
