Taiwan will block access to Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media app also known as RedNote, for one year due to security concerns and its alleged link to over 1,700 fraud cases since 2024.

The interior ministry said the app, which reportedly has 3 million users in Taiwan, was involved in fraud resulting in losses of NT$247.7 million (US$7.9 million) and failed all 15 indicators in a government cybersecurity assessment.
