Territorial enforcement laws were legislated just before taking the recent tough stance on Philippines commandos attempting to reach the stranded Sierra Madre 

With this enactment, PRC police can march in to Taipei under cover of the PLAN and attempt to capture convicted Taiwan separatists

The million dollar question is - how?

Has 公安 learned how to walk on water?

Even if so, has the PLAN secured safe passage for them across the Taiwan Strait?

Nothing new for a country without judicial independent.

Taiwan is free, it doesn't need to be "liberated"

It's taking lesson from Ukraine war. This should be a lesson for Sg as well.

I think they should have a million drones ready to strike at China ships, tons of Patriots missiles, long range artillery and anti-ship missiles.

Taiwan says it is learning from Ukraine how a smaller country can stand up to invasion

Taiwan is looking at Ukraine’s resistance under Russian invasion and learning how it can prepare for a possible attack by China, the island’s vice-president said in London on Thursday.

Hsiao Bi-khim was speaking at an event hosted by Chatham House, reported The i news.

“We are learning from Ukraine’s defence, where smaller combat forces have proven nimble and adaptable,” Ms Bi-khim said, stating that Taiwan is seeing parallels with Ukraine’s fight back against a larger neighbour.

Chinese president Xi Jinping has instructed his country’s military to “be ready by 2027” to invade Taiwan, according to US intelligence. China views the democratically-governed Taiwan as a breakaway province and maintains the position that it will not renounce force to bring Taiwan under its control.

The 70-year-old autocrat has previously vowed to ensure Taiwan is “reunited” with the mainland during his time in power, and has also said the matter of the island’s future “cannot be passed on from generation to generation”.

“As long as the People’s Republic of China has not renounced the use of force against Taiwan, and as long as they continue to exercise force, we have no choice but to step up our defences accordingly,” Ms Bi-khim said, in remarks that risk angering Beijing.

The Taiwanese vice president, hinting at preparation towards a possible invasion, said that Taipei must “reform and decentralise our military command structure”.

“And we understand that’s not only relevant for our military, we are working to enhance our whole society’s resilience, incorporating civil defence in our homeland,” she said.

Taiwan is actively taking steps to bolster its readiness against a Chinese attack, Ms Bi-khim said. These steps include doubling up Taiwan’s defence budget and taking a leaf out of Ukraine’s combat against invading Russian forces.

“We have extended the mandatory military service and training period from four months to a year,” she said. Taiwan has prioritised its new arms acquisitions and management systems that are cost effective, nimble and survivable, the vice-president said.

Faced with Russian onslaught of aerial attacks from hypersonic, ballistic, cruise missiles and drones, Ukraine has amped up its own domestic production on aerial and reconnaissance drones to fight back.

It has helped the war-hit nation sustain the frontline troops in the weeks western aid has slowed down. From being a minimal ammunition importer in 2019, Ukraine in 2023 became the number one global arms importer.

In a similar fashion, Taiwan is also investing in their own domestic defence industry and working on establishing a mechanism to introduce new and emerging technologies, the vice president added.

She said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reminded Taiwan that it cannot take its peace for granted. The official cited “backsliding of basic human rights and civil rights in Hong Kong” as a wake-up call for Taipei.

Last month, Taiwan’s outgoing foreign minister Joseph Wu had warned that defeat of Ukraine can inspire China’s expansionism ambitions.

“If Ukraine is defeated in the end, I think China is going to get inspired and they might take even more ambitious steps in expanding their power in the Indo-Pacific and it will be disastrous for the international community,” he said.

He cautioned that “nobody should be... thinking that they are immune from authoritarian influence”.

In late May, Beijing deployed warplanes and naval vessels in a mock invasion of the island to demonstrate its anger towards the new president in Taipei.

The Chinese military openly said its two-day war games are designed to “test the [armed forces’] ability to jointly seize power... and occupy key areas” around Taiwan and the island chains it controls.

The escalation of China’s military activity around Taiwan is being watched with growing alarm from around the world, with neighbouring powers in the Asia-Pacific urging the two to maintain peace and stability.

Well, one thing that Taiwan doesn't lack is semiconductor chips. 

Depending on which source and definition, it holds anywhere from 50 to 90% of the market share.

Not even Kuwait had this kind of influence on the world's crude oil supply and look at the response in 1991. 

It will be a bargaining chip (no pun intended) both with the West, the Non-Aligned-Movement, as well as a deterrent to China (given its massive manufacturing sector). 

Any conflict on the island is likely to cripple anything tech-related for decades and no one will win, even if one side claims victory in the military conflict. 

That being said - the longer the Ukrainian conflict drags on, the better the position for Taiwan if China is covertly supplying Russia to sustain its effort, resources it would need for itself should it decide to press the button.

Basically Xi is applying all manner of brake checks on the Chinese in Taiwan until new cccp leader and political climate evolves in Beiping.

Actually I doubt it effects their own army. They are supplying Russia with industrial machinery and electronics that Russia used to get from the west to produce weapons. China has no lack of those. Plus it gets russian energy exports in return, its a profitable thingy.  

It's actually in Xi interest that Ukraine , Gaza etc get worse... create more hotspots if possible... so western powers are distracted. 

And if the Chinese economy turns worse,  then what better time to start a war and distract internal audience.

Gist of it:

President Lai said,

Average income of Taiwanese is NTD $48,000 = SGD $2,000

Is like Tsai and Lai on Average has one ball each...

So is this meaningful and useful?

Average is meaningless 🤣🤣

You are absolutely right.

They do have a million drones ready to strike at China ships.

Nice work… turn your non-voter locations into wartime ammo dump

Fortunately, only the pro-independence DPP can not only think, but also act out the dark side of human nature

Aljunied and Hougang can continue to sleep well

All relative. Main problem is most Western countries use to spending 1-2% of GDP on military but countries like RuZZia like to spend 6-7%. Hard to increase in "normal" time but if these guys keep threatening then public very quickly start to support huge switch over

So if LL have to balance RuZZia type of crazy spending then AMDK/Japanese/etc will create huge edge coz RuZZian economy is actually totally rubbish, only produce oil and gas
