it's really strange why it seems like majority of taiwanese think that won't happen and they are not really concerned.
Or they think as Taiwanese, even if that happens, they can and should put up a good fight.
But that equates to immense loss of lives and wealth. Tens of thousands could perish in such a scenario. Being such a small island with no hinterland, all foreign funds and businesses will be withdrawn. Taiwan will be set back 30 years.
Their residents don't seem to be scared of that scenario?
Why? Cos naive? Got too much confidence in themselves and their US, EU "friends"?
As sgreans, and as males who have done NS before ...
We know the threats coming from Msia and Indo alone, are real. They have definitely existed in the last 50 years, and definitely will continue in the next 50 years.
If we had not diligently, faithfully used wise leadership, consistent diplomacy and of course, super strong military...
Sg would have been long gone.
Imagine Sg suddenly turns into Taiwan overnight, with that kind of leadership... willingly becoming pawn of the US, EU and being at loggerheads with their mega neighbour.
What do you think will happen to Sg? Lol.
That's why... I feel Taiwanese ultra naive.. willingly be duped and conned by DPP's idealism of an "independent" Taiwan and risking real war where tens of thousands of lives could be lost.
