Driftwood can’t be taken from some beaches but can Chinese missile? Would like to have a nice souvenir to show grandkids one day.

thanks! glad I could see other concerned 外國人 , wondering if we’ll get any news updates on people who found debris or something
The Alert said to notify the authorities, so my guess is you can’t take a part of Chinese missile/rocket home either.
I foresee hundreds of people finding thousand of pieces of rockets debris and lots of astonished waaaaaaa TikTok videos.

Go ask Maestro Wu in Kinmen. (Though most of those knives aren’t actually made from bombshells)
I seem to remember someone getting blown up by a bombshell on a Kinmen beach a few years ago. Probably a good idea to stay away…
I checked a few local news sites when the alert came through and nothing. As usual forumosa comes through with the scoop.

4 days before an election and the “tough on China” party controlling the government alerts. Just saying.

Would you prefer being in the dark about PLA military equipment flying through Taiwanese skies?
As far as things go, this is pretty politically neutral.
Greens may be scared into voting to oppose China.
Blues may be scared into voting to appease China to avoid war.

pardon my ignorance, but is a satellite harmless? why would they launch one of those things? is it not for surveillance?
Thats in Chinese the translation reads “hahaha we got you good big noses, until next time!”

Depends on what it is and what perspective you’re taking. 
Seems a bit odd that they don’t mention the English word/message in the article to provide more context for the confusion.
If we get alerts in the future telling us that “satellites” are on their way, it might be a good idea that time to hide under the table.

The alert was issued by the Ministry of Defense (Taiwan’s military). The top guys in the military are all KMT voters.
