Chinanews.com, January 17 (Xinhua) According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", the United States recently announced the sale of the "volcanic mobile mine-laying system", which sparked discussions.
Kinmen "legislator" Chen Yuzhen strongly opposed it during an interview on the 16th, and said that landmines are a kind of pain to Kinmen people. In addition to not being able to go to the beach to play in the water when they were young, some people have lost their legs due to stepping on landmines by mistake.
The "legislators" of the Kuomintang have also criticized one after another, resolutely opposing the policy of prolonging future generations and disregarding human life.
Qiu Chenyuan, a "legislator" of the People's Party, also questioned that "war lightning protection" is a kind of asymmetrical combat power. Alternative options?
Zheng Zhengqian, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, said that peace is the solution to avoiding war, and covering Taiwan with landmines will not bring peace.
Tourists are also worried that the mines will affect tourism, and worry that the nightmare of Kinmen's tourism and economy being choked by landmines will repeat itself.
The tourism industry has begun to worry about Taiwan's purchase of mine-laying systems to scare away tourists.
Xiao Boren, chairman of the Taiwan Federation of Travel Business Associations, said, "Buying mine mines must be a big damage to Taiwan's tourism", and it must be placed on the coastline. In the past, tourists were afraid to go to Kinmen because of landmines, even if it was launched later. Minesweepering, group tourists are gradually willing to play, but because there may be landmines on the beach, individual tourists are still afraid to go to the beach to play; if there are landmines in Taiwan, who would dare to come to play?
