\u201cChina is preparing to invade Taiwan,\u201d Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Francois Wu (\u5433\u5fd7\u4e2d) said in an exclusive interview with British media channel Sky News for a special report titled, \u201cIs Taiwan ready for a Chinese invasion?\u201d the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said today in a statement.<\/p>\n

The 25-minute-long special report by Helen Ann-Smith released yesterday saw Sky News travel to Penghu, Taoyuan and Taipei to discuss the possibility of a Chinese invasion and how Taiwan is preparing for an attack.<\/p>\n

The film observed emergency response drills, interviewed baseball fans at the Taipei Dome on their views of US President Donald Trump, visited a university lab teaching students to make semiconductors and spoke to Taiwanese veterans at a care home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chihchung WU added this on the Chinese threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe population need to not be naive like in the past\u2026 China is preparing to invade Taiwan,\u201d<\/strong> Wu said in the interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaiwan alone, facing China \u2014 we will never be ready\u2026 it\u2019s not possible, China is so big, so huge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf one day China take[s] Taiwan, of course it will be very bad for Taiwan\u2026 maybe we will be destroyed\u2026 but the modern world that we are living in now\u2026 will also disappear,\u201d<\/strong> Wu said, due to the global demand for Taiwanese semiconductors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans have also given us a lot when in 1996 we [had] the missile crisis,\u201d Wu said, adding that, now, the US military is trying to maintain regional stability and democracy to protect not only the semiconductor industry, but US-Taiwan national interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump certainly knows that without Taiwanese chips, he cannot make America great again,\u201d Wu added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
