They always say they will land around Taoyuan because they would be headed towards Taipei.
A few monmths ago they had a cool diorama about rolling tanks down Taipei a la Hong Kong takeover.
Now, thsi will happen, they will bring their tanks and soldiers after teh cowards here capitulate. “If we give in peacefully, they will not hurt us”, teh politicians will tell the population and people here have a lot to lose in bombing and war. My gazillion dollar aprtment! My pearls! My bonds! My million dollars in the bank! So give up peacefuly they will.
Then it will be a reenactment of GOT S8E5 under any excuse, first of all to kill the chicken to scare the monkey -keeping hold of China ain’t easy- and second because they have been told all their lives Taiwanese are a bunch of Japanophiliacs and traitors so why not.
IDK but this isn’t the first time I heard they can’t just drop off troops anywhere.
Maybe the coastal water is too shallow or the beach is too rocky. They can’t invade with just a few hundred or even thousand troops. They need to completely secure a big enough beachhead to drop tens of thousands a day.
I think the PRC will let foreigners (non-Taiwanese passports) leave after the invasion…just too much trouble to manage.
I suggest keeping some cash/funds overseas.
If there is a prolonged fight (which I definitely think will not happen) find some old farmers who knows how to live off the land…food will be limited and expensive. Old people are tough and will teach you a few survival tricks.
Don’t bomb a country that just legalized same-sex marriage, Xi! I’m not going to tell you again! Don’t make me use my whip of progressive values on you! It’s 2019.
