Half of Japan firms prepared in event of Taiwan contingency

Important to observe Taiwan province is a non-UN recognized separatist entity. That should be on page one of their 'manual'.

Better to be safe than sorry, and prepare for such an event.

Surely the CCP are not that stupid that they would attack and attempt to invade free Taiwan. It would be an absolute catastrophe for Communist China and the death toll horrendous, even if they did manage to take some land. As well as an economic disaster.

Important to observe that Taiwan has more recognition than russia's disgraces.

separatist entity

I don't know how you separate from yourself but that is the apologist for you.

China spreading love and understanding, as usual. lol

Relevant to consider the peaceful reunification of HK and Macau as a precedent, widely considered to be a positive success. Hopefully those templates, which are smashing successes, can be replicated here when the inevitable occurs.

Then there will be no need for 'contingency' measures. Beijing is on the right side of international law when it comes to considering the UN Charter etc doesn't apply to separatist provinces.

Facilitating a peaceful transfer is in everyone's interests. Tokyo could really reverse their geopolitical-diplomatic impotence in Asia by taking the lead on such a common sense initiative.

"to prevent an invasion", its very simple. Don't stir ..../don't instigate/etc. The people across the Straits themselves don't want to fight each other.

The Government of China is likely to "blockade", to institute a political economic embargo, to suffocate every meaning of normality.

Dictators fan the flames of suspicion, the uncertainty of volatile extreme political circumstance, offer vague obscure hope of short term measures for a return to the status quo.

Await the global response, the possibility of appeasement.

The world of democracy/freedom has been here before, many have lived through it all, lets not make the same disastrous conclusions again.

Taiwanese firms are also making plans.

A few new Taiwanese plants in the Industrial estate near me and close cooperation with Tohoku daigaku.

gary

As long as Xi Jinping remains a dictator, I fear that the economy will continue to deteriorate and a Taiwan emergency will occur someday.

As we can see from Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party does not keep its promises.

Mere demonstrations are suppressed, and more than 2,000 citizens are still missing.

Do Taiwanese people want to be ruled by such a country? It is impossible.

Important to observe that Taiwan has more recognition than russia's disgraces.

Completely irrelevant.

I seems very sensible for Japanese companies to prepare for the reunification of Taiwan to China. If and when it happens, I only hope that it is peaceful for all people and is done in a way to spare all lives and protect the prosperity of the Taiwanese people.

Per the VisionOfHumanity Global Peace Index, which is rather objective for most of humanity, here are the actual country rankings since WWII (low score is more peaceful):

Japan 17 score 1525

Taiwan 43 score 1818

China 89 score 2101

USA 132 score 2622

Russia 156 score 3134

Let's remember to separate fact from opinion.

Issues with neighboring countries or within China.

The Senkaku Islands issue with Japan

The Spratly Islands issue with the Philippines

The Lieo Island issue with South Korea

Territorial issues with India

Territorial issues with Russia

Territorial issues with Bhutan

Territorial issues with Taiwan

Oppression of ethnic minorities in the Uighur Autonomous Region and elsewhere

Oppression of democratization in Hong Kong

Poor environmental issues within China (also affecting neighboring countries)

Source of coronavirus contamination (destruction of evidence)

A country with so many problems, even if we just list them all, is it really a peaceful nation?

Nice joke!
