Taiwan Issues Guide Survival over China Invasion Threat

Taiwan issued its 1st guide survival to educate citizens on how to respond if attacked, after the Russian attack on Ukraine raised fears of a Chinese attack on the island.

The guide released by the Ministry of National Defense on Tuesday provides QR codes for locating air raid shelters, a list of wartime supplies, and packing information for military reserves, according to the Bloomberg news agency.

“The pamphlet simulates wartime situations and guides the public in various scenarios, so they can learn to adopt the necessary response measures,” Liu Tai-Yi, director at the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency’s materials pision, said.

President Tsai Ing-wen's government launched the mobilization agency in December to bolster resilience against national security threats, as China ramps up military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the island.

Last year, China more than doubled its military forays into Taiwan's air-defense identification zone to around 950, according to official data compiled by Bloomberg.
