Lyu Hsiu-lien Warns: China Might Attack During Typhoon Holiday

Chinese leader Xi Jinping continues to purge high-ranking military officials, with National Security Bureau Director Tsai Ming-yen stating that the likelihood of the People's Liberation Army transitioning from drills to actual combat is low in the short term. However, former Vice President Lyu Hsiu-lien mentioned in a program on "Wind Media" that the "South China Morning Post" has warned that July and August are critical time periods, and the greatest concern is that China might choose to launch an attack during typhoon holidays.

Lyu pointed out that most wars enter like a dream, urging young people to stop taking life too lightly. She referred to warnings from the "Financial Times" and "South China Morning Post," stating that China has already established the capability to attack Taiwan, deploying amphibious forces along the coast of Fujian and targeting nearly 40 critical infrastructures in Taiwan. Chinese vessels have been frequently transiting the Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait, and panic can be triggered at a moment's notice.

Lyu analyzed that while this information seems factual and is provided by the Ministry of National Defense, it is actually the people—"you, me, everyone"—who are not adequately prepared. She explained that young people are only worried about military service potentially extending from four months to one year, rather than concerning themselves with national security. If everyone knows that Taiwan's youth are reluctant to fight, America will not consider defending Taiwan, and China will view this as the best opportunity to strike. She also noted that July and August would see major recall elections, as people are busy generating hatred and are distracted by the typhoon season, with many hoping for a holiday without severe weather, making them less aware of potential disasters. The biggest fear is that China might attack the day before a typhoon.

While she is unsure of the accuracy of the reports, Lyu emphasized that most wars enter like a dream, and with the consensus that Taiwan might become the next focal point after the Russia-Ukraine war, she hopes everyone can stay alert. If Taiwanese people do not protect Taiwan, it is unreasonable to expect American support. Therefore, she believes women should also undergo military training to at least raise national defense awareness, yet she asserts that "investing in peace is essential to avoiding war."
