#1 It would be hilarious if Taiwan could innovate an effective multi-target anti-missile laser against the thousand+ rockets the Mainland has aimed at it.

Imagine if not a single primary or secondary target was hit after a massive barrage, and the Taiwanese were ready to party. The Mainland fifth column would be out in the cold, and the amphibious assault would be a slaughter.

#4 Hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese live, work and even retire in the city.

Erm... so Taiwan is colonizing the mainland? And you just know they're bringing those Taiwanese ideas with them.

#5 Yes a genuine Chineese Fire Drill.

I have had the signal honor to participate in an actual Chinese fire drill. While installing a CVD reactor in Taoyuan (40 miles south of Taipei), a mains transformer melted down in the facilities crawl space and the whole place lit up with strobes, beacons and continuous chimes accompanied by a looped evacuation announcement. Truly one of the assignment's highlights.
