Well, you can visit probably any official Chinese government department website right now and see traditional Japanese characters instead of their simplified equivalents, if your machine happens to be configured that way. (Or at least the first one I stumbled across was like that, I pasted link somewhere in another comment. And I most certainly have Chinese fonts installed; in fact I see only simplified characters when I open the tweeted document in Pages.)

So they clearly do not make that effort even with documents actually crafted with foreign readers in mind. Presumably things can't be expected to be better if we are discussing secret documents intended for internal CCP consumption.

Right, and a premise of the tweet cited here is that different character sets mean you should just freely assume it's fabricated by Taiwan. It doesn't make that argument (at least not anywhere in the cited thread), it just presents an examination of characters with that as an underlying assumption.
