She went on to say: “We want the Japanese government to modernize all its [cyber] defense tools.” Speaking on China’s launch of cyberattacks against Taiwan, Neuberger reportedly said Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities must be enhanced, including in cyberspace. “Stability across the Taiwan Strait is critical to the United States and the region,” she added.
