China News Service, April 13 (Zhu Yanjing) Since last year, Taiwan's defense department has started to compile the "National Defense Manual".

On the 12th, the so-called handbook to provide the public with emergency response information in the face of military crises and possible disasters was released.

What do people from all walks of life on the island think of this manual with many loopholes?

What is the content of the manual?

  The main structure of the manual released by Taiwan's defense authorities is "Emergency Response QR Code", "Air Raid Alert and Fire Evacuation", "Building Collapse and Fire Response", "Power Outage Response", "Water Cutoff Response", " There are 11 categories in total, including medical first aid, "responsible for shortage of necessities for people's livelihood", "disaster prevention (war preparedness) materials and ambulance preparation", "basic knowledge of survival", "emergency reporting line", and "reserve soldier mobilization information".

Does it really work?

What do you think about the island?

  According to Taiwanese media reports, Jie Zhong, a researcher at Taiwan's "China Strategic Foresight Association", criticized that some parts of the manual really make people feel that the relevant units are somewhat "inhumane".

  Jie Zhong said, for example, the manual states that when the water is cut off, the customer service line of the water company is called for inquiries or notifications, but how can we ensure that the "customer service line" can still be connected in wartime?

  Jie Zhong said that when the necessities of people's livelihood are in short supply, the manual stipulates that they should go to the designated distribution station and purchase the allotted necessities for people's livelihood at the price of the specified number of items.

In other words, if the people still need to spend money to buy necessities of life during the war, and they also need to bring their household registration books, what if they cannot find their household registration books because their houses are destroyed by air raids, or they cannot bring money in time?

  There are also local grassroots chiefs in Taiwan who expressed dissatisfaction with the manual, believing that there was a lack of planning, and many "major tasks" were given to the grassroots, but they did not receive any relevant information in advance.

One of the chiefs said, "Is it prepared by them or me for tens of thousands of emergency rescue kits in three days? Where is the storage space?"

  Taiwanese people also have their own views on this manual.

  Some people commented on social media about the practicality of the manual, "surreal, even if the power is out!!" "The National Power Outage Manual, may be more practical."

  Some Taiwanese netizens criticized the DPP authorities for deliberately creating tension, saying, "Isn't it more beneficial to the people to think about how to live in peace?"

  Taiwan's "United Daily News" published a commentary article on the 13th saying that the manual not only did not solve the public's confusion about how to deal with the war after the war, but instead surprised people that the staff of the defense department did not eat human fireworks, and it was so embarrassing and ridiculous. To the point where it is so ridiculous to talk about soldiers on paper, the situation in battle may be even worse.

  Taiwan's "China Times" published an article saying that the latest handbook issued by the military, not to mention the coming of war, is an earthquake and a mudslide. Can you still find the household registration paper after encountering it?

The article asked: The hard-won peaceful coexistence of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it is necessary to create frequent confrontations and provocations, who in the end said there is going to be a war?

Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: The DPP's provocation of "independence" is the biggest threat to Taiwan Strait security

  The DPP authorities have released the so-called "National Defense Manual", which is not unrelated to their long-standing stance of exaggerating threats from the mainland.

In addition to creating and exaggerating tensions by publishing the "National Defense Manual", the DPP authorities have also used a series of means to "de-Sinicization" and collude with the United States to exacerbate cross-strait tensions.

  Earlier, polls on the island showed that if there is a war between the two sides of the strait, more than half of Taiwanese people are reluctant to go to the battlefield, and the proportion of 20 to 29-year-olds who are unwilling to go to the battlefield is as high as 70%.

There are also many public opinions that the DPP authorities should not provoke confrontation with the mainland, but should create a peaceful and stable cross-strait atmosphere through exchanges and dialogue to benefit the common people.

  At the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held on the 13th, a reporter mentioned that the Taiwan defense department recently released the so-called "National Defense Manual" to publicize and hype "wartime refuge", which caused anxiety among the people on the island.

  In response, Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that compatriots on both sides of the strait are well aware that "Taiwan independence" means the loss of peace and disaster, and the DPP's provocation of "independence" is the biggest threat to the security of the Taiwan Strait.

The DPP authorities stubbornly carried out "independence" provocative activities for their own selfish interests, and did not hesitate to tie the Taiwanese people to the "Taiwan independence" chariot, which will only push the Taiwanese people into the abyss of disaster.

  Ma Xiaoguang said, we call on compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially the majority of Taiwan compatriots, to keep their eyes open and not to become victims of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. Only when compatriots on both sides of the strait work together to contain "Taiwan independence" can we effectively maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and effectively safeguard the compatriots on both sides of the strait. mutual benefit.
