www.9news.com.au/world/taiwan-issues-invasion-survival-handbook-china-threat/aa0fa153-a6bf-448f-ad5e-945e80e3f536Military authorities in Taiwan have released a handbook advising residents on how to prepare for a potential Chinese invasion. Beijing views Taiwan as an inseparable part of its territory - even though the Chinese Communist Party has never governed the island. The 28-page survival guide - the first issued by the Taiwan government - includes advice on where to find bomb shelters and how to gather supplies of essential items, reports the AFP news agency. A spokesman for the Taiwan Defense Ministry said the handbook contained information which "the general public can use as an emergency response guideline in a military crisis or natural disaster". www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/taiwan-gives-citizens-survival-handbook-case-chinese-invasionTaiwan's military took the dramatic step of issuing a public emergency handbook meant to prepare all citizens in the event of a Chinese invasion of the island. The 28-page booklet includes detailed instructions on bomb shelter locations and how to stockpile emergency supplies, as well as basic life-saving steps.

The CCP will not invade Taiwan. They aren't capable and it would ruin their economy. The CCP values stability above all else and this is a threat to it. Bullying the fishing vessels of small neighbours is one thing, invading an opponent with a modern military is another.

Bullying the fishing vessels of small neighbours is one thing, invading an opponent with a modern military is another. Perhaps you are right but I sincerely doubt it. If they were genuinely focussed on stability as their main goal, they wouldn't be building up their nuclear arsenal, building up their naval force projection ability, building military outposts, lasing foreign military aircraft and invading sovereign airspace. They are learning from current conflicts and they are building their military capabilities accordingly. Thanks to the stupidity of western capitalists moving our manufacturing to China we have also enabled them to have considerable economic leverage. Now they also know they need independence from the western payments system, central banking system and alternate foreign trade avenues to ride out the West's economic sanctions when they come. |

The CCP has been saying/doing that since the 1950s. All bluff. Don't let their image fool you. Most of the PRC is in poverty similar to Africa. It's the tier 1 cities on the east coast that they want you to see, and as a foreigner it is all you are allowed to see. Even in the non-prohibited regions, you cannot stay in any hotel. Unless you want to sleep on the street, it's a no go.
Taiwan on the other hand is vastly wealthier with a modern, well equipped military which has been consistently training for this exact scenario. Any invasion of Taiwan would result in sanctions in mineral exports to them and manufacturing goods from them. They'd be crippled even if they won. Tens of millions of out of work people in their cities is not going to go well.
The CCPs aim of politically and economically isolating Taiwan has not worked at all. Sure, Taiwan lacks recognition, but it's meaningless when everyone trades with them anyway.
The horror story for the PRC would be a failed invasion. The international outcry during a period in which the PRC is isolated may well lead to greater international recognition of Taiwan. No PRC government could survive this scenario.

It wont take much for China to invade Taiwan, the next global economic collapse when there is rioting in the streets in the US and other western countries.
It would be a perfect opportunity for the invasion. Germany is rethinking sending arms to Ukraine - said they need the weapons for stability in Asia. There is heightened alerts to a possible Chinese invasion. The world goes through cycles of stability and economic strife, pestilence, loss of morality, trade wars then hot wars.
Global economy is now at peak and the war cycle is now starting. The Taiwan government consider it a high risk of invasion, urgently getting more arms from the west and training warning and preparing their citizens.

Therefore China reacts to this by increasing their military capabilities. Possibly that's something to do with the Chinese head of state saying that if Taiwan doesn't succumb to Chinese rule he will use force to 'Reunite' with Taiwan by 2034. That's the destabilizing cause right there. |

The only reason for any 'impending' war with China is that China is trying to annexe its neighbours. Else there's no reason for it. |
