We are moving to the new Yellow and Bohai seas for more exercise. 

 

China to run new drills in Yellow and Bohai seas - Chinese authorities

China says it is carrying out new military exercises in the Yellow and Bohai seas after a barrage of drills that encircled Taiwan in recent days.

The initial exercises were triggered by Beijing's fury at a visit to Taipei by the US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

Taiwan has accused China of practising for an invasion of the island, which Beijing sees as its own.

On Sunday a senior Chinese military analyst said China would now conduct "regular" military drills near Taiwan.

China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be under Beijing's control. But Taiwan is a self-ruled island that sees itself as distinct from the mainland.

Any hint of recognition of this by world leaders, however, enrages China.

Weekend already burnt unnecessarily by needless geopolitics, now extended some more

But heard from a PRC friend that serving in their military is seen as a good career; apparently have many benefits. Versus a job in some start-up or widget factory with long hours.

reminds me of the trade war China launched against Australia. self inflicted damage. end up only accelerated Australia diversification of her export.

now want to do the same and accelerate diversification of Taiwan's export to other countries. I give that country <slow> claps  😆

Diversified?

Probably export more into SEA then going though the surrounding regions? 

We gotten quite good price on lobster for a while.🤣

But strangely the live lobster in atas supermarkets I saw are all from America. Think about $45ish each. 

I been wondering why Australian ones don't seem to have an impact here... i want cheap lobsters 😋 surely it's cheaper to shop from Australia than all the way usa mah.

I got a bunch of TW friends, and they all holding American passports. 

One told me when TW get invaded, he will go the US. he is going to transfer everything he has over to US

Another told me if TW got invaded, his whole family will go and fight. But his almost everything is already transferred to US and he is also living there.

Third one told me his is very TWnese, but he send the wife to the US to give birth 2 times. 

Can anyone here tell me how TW is going to survive if CCP really want to invade them? 

I think CCP is just smart enough to scare people away telling others TW belonging to them. They just let TW internally break out as there are some that dislike AMDK. The whole exercise is an excuse of doing a blockade and let them suffer for a while I think

The able ones will leave. I know one ex-colleague engineer also planning to go US. Same with S Korea, a manager, finds his way to US.

The not able ones will either fight or surrender. I don't think many have the will of the Ukrainians, so it might a different story.

But if PRC attacks, the initial wave, they will lose a lot of soldiers. TW will empty every bullet onto them. But after that, they might lose the will to defend, just my guess.

Both countries, PRC and Taiwan (oh dear, I am going to get blacklisted  for even saying that!) , there are loads of talented, able ones and they will migrate when local conditions are not so good. PRC citizens themselves leave for greener, whiter pastures overseas because of the ultra-competitive stress of the educational/employment system on themselves and their kids, tight and never-ending covid rules, among other things. Everyone regardless of nationality or affiliated ideology will always go where life is easier, more relaxed and enjoyable, and the wages can afford a decent living standard.

The Aussies lobster only dropped price for a short period of time. 

Some F&B establishment were doing one for one before Covid.

I see their country is separated, some choose to run away, some choose to fight and some willing to go back to CCP cos they are not doing well. Just we donno their percentage only. What we can see here is majority that support DPP. Many I can see are running away, moved their assets out. Many are making money in Mainland. At one instance, when we visit an island in Fujian (Mei Zhou Island). They call the TWs 岛民😅

It is always easiest for us to comment on what happens to countries far away...since what ever happens, we are only affected by the ripples while the citizens in the country will have to suffer the devastating effect of the fallout. 

If we put ourself in the TWnese shoes, what would we have done to safeguard the safety and future of our love ones? 

I will not be quick to pass judgement if they decide to stay to fight or flight to safety.
