[Global Times reporter Li Yao] Although the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly denied the statement that "Ukraine today, Taiwan tomorrow", the United News Network disclosed on February 28 that the island has been quietly raising its defenses recently.
According to the report, the DPP authorities recently asked local governments to take stock of air-raid shelters and shelters in various places. Among them, Changhua County has counted more than 3,500 shelters.
It is understood that the current population of Changhua County is 1.258 million, and the number of people that can be accommodated in the shelter is about 1.219 million.
However, with the exception of Changhua County and Yuanlin City, most of the towns on the island only have more than 100 air-raid shelters, or even less than this number, which cannot meet the standard of fully carrying the number of air-raid refugees.
In recent days, the county and city police stations and police stations on the island have been asked to check whether the current shelter facilities are sufficient, but they found that it is almost impossible to restart the use of the early air-raid shelters. At present, most of the "refuge places" reported in the following reports are institutions and schools. , buildings, underground parking lots of shopping malls, basement restaurants and other activity spaces.
In addition to the large inventory of air-raid shelters, Taiwan's military service system has once again caused heated discussions.
According to a report by Zhongshi Electronic News on February 28, Taiwan's "Legislative Yuan Bureau of Legislative Affairs" analyzed that it is estimated that by 2039, there will be only more than 50,000 "draft men" available for recruitment on the island.
The "Legal Affairs Bureau" suggested that the Taiwan authorities restore the conscription system in due course and stop handling some or all of the alternative service.
DPP "legislator" Wang Haoyu also expressed support for conscription or at least extending military training to six months to one year, including women.
Netizens who supported this view commented that the "strawberry soldiers" of the Taiwan military did not know how to fight, and "only learned to hold a broom during the four-month military training"; but more netizens strongly opposed it, criticizing "it is better to let 'Taiwan independence' go first", "for the sake of 'Taiwan independence'". It's not worth fighting for certain people to fight."
