A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is unlikely to happen at any one time, but I think there is a good chance it might happen within my lifetime, especially if China continues growing the way it has been for the last decade. This thread is not to discuss the likeliness of an invasion, it is to discuss what you would do if it were to happen.
Would you stay in Taiwan? Would you take your family to the countryside to wait for everything to blow over? Do you have an evacuation pack ready to go? If so whatâs in it? I have a small pack with some essentials such as passports, ĺ°čč, a physical map, and various currencies including Chinese RMB, US dollar and TWD.
I donât have a pack yet, but have been thinking about what to put in one recently. Passports, currencies, walkie talkies. Physical map not necessary since you can download offline maps to your phone. Id probably go to the countryside.
I donât know. No point thinking about it as vast majority of us are totally unprepared for significant disaster like this.
I donât know if I even want to stay in Taiwan now, let alone wait for some invasion. Taibaozheng wouldnât be worth much if it comes to a hot war with China.
Besides what if the invader isnât China? What if itâs someone else?
Taibaozheng is a Chinese issued identity document, so if China was controlling Taiwanâs borders, it would be more useful than an ROC passport, in my opinion.
I wonder if there would be rich Taiwanese trying to get to the Philippines or Japan on hired boats.
If they were aware the CCP were coming beforehand, they would have flown out anyway.
If I knew they were coming, I would be on a flight out ASAP. Would non Taiwanese be rounded up into camps and deported? Any wealth would be seized.
OK, I think, this thread is OK then, as long as people are not starting to talk about fighting the Commies, then it should probably merged.
Personally, I think my plan will be to get money transferred to overseas, then make sure to have weeks of supplies, and then sit it out and hope itâs over soon. Donât think I will flee the rock, probably not going to be able anyway.
