Taiwan’s 23 million inhabitants will receive a booklet Friday on how to survive natural disasters and emergencies, as well as an invasion by China. The handbook, unveiled in September, includes guidelines on what supplies to stockpile in households and put in go-bags, and instructions on what to do when encountering enemy soldiers. In the event of a military invasion, “any claims that the government has surrendered or that the nation has been defeated is false,” the booklet says. Taiwan’s book comes after Sweden and Finland earlier this year updated guidance to their citizens on how to survive war, as NATO allies bolster defense measures against the backdrop of the Ukraine conflict. The handbook also outlined the types of military threats Taiwan could face, from sabotage of undersea cables, unilateral declaration of no-fly zones, to an all-out invasion. The handbook also cautions against cybersecurity risks of Chinese-made mobile applications like DeepSeek, WeChat, TikTok and RedNote, and potential privacy intrusions by some Chinese-brand devices with cameras, stating that they could “even be used by the enemy in a crisis.” The Defense Ministry said it will print around 11 million copies – including 105,000 English versions for foreign consulates, media and residents in Taiwan – to reach around 9.8 million households in Taiwan.
