      Nah, they just rejected multi culturalism. They also allow their people to be proud of their country, they had to deal with serious problems for a very long time so they are more grounded to reality, instead of the average American, alot of Europeans are even becoming delusional even though 2 world wars were fought bakc to back on that soil. The people in EU have become Americanized.

    Hi, one of your viewers here from USA living in Taiwan, China always has military activity, even if they tried it would be catastrophic on their side Taiwan is a military porcupine, the island does not need the military to help with relief , the people here in Taiwan know how to work together, and the gov knows how to deal with these events as they have learned well from the past. the USA media is blowing it up into a catastrophic event which it wasn’t at all, but it’s nice to see we all over the map and people showing support and concern again. To be honest his is the last thing the CCP wants which is more attention to Taiwan haha .

    Everything is fine in Taiwan. A number of buildings were damaged near the epicenter, there has been damage to some infrastructure but for the most part life goes on immediately after an earthquake here. I was in the expressway when it hit, my car was bouncing, the elevated commuter train just above me was making a terrible noise, but when I got to work and told my employer I was returning home to check on my wife, I was looked at like I was being an unreasonable idiot.

The Taiwan quake looked more like a bouncer or shaker. However, bouncers typically last a lot longer and supposedly do a lot more damage. Those are caused by plate subduction, rather than two plates sliding horizontally against each other. I don't know what type of quake this was.

    Taiwan has Earthquakes almost on a daily basis but they are so mild that you don't feel anything. The Taiwanese government always sends warnings both in Chinese and in English to all Taiwanese phone numbers. Because of the last deadly Earthquake, Taiwan government put very strict building codes in place so the buildings won't collapse. I don't know about the old buildings where the plumbing is so old and bad that you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet. There are apps and cartoons made for children and toddlers so they know what to do. Taiwan is prepared and they also have bunkers with English signs so you know where to hide underground in case a missile hits. Military training is mandatory for men. I hope both animals and people will be all right after this tragic event.

    There are still aftershocks and many of the buildings are developing serious cracks and structural issues which will become a serious problem later when the rebound hits the area. I have relatives in Taipei and it’s pretty serious. Fortunately the death toll is minimal and TSMC wasn’t damaged…at least not that they’re revealing at the moment.
    Most of the photos and video I have seen are from today.
    Finally, between now and around August Typhoons are minimal and the sea is calm…so this period is particularly “good” for any kind of invasion. I don’t think China would split second decide to invade Taiwan right after the earthquake…the optics would be bad…even for China.

      No it isn't. Taiwan gets 10x as many earthquakes as California, they are prepared for this far more than most nations on earth. China is a threat 7 days a week, 365 days a year - especially with certain brainless tards occupying the white house.

      When you live within spitting distance of a country that wants to destroy your way of life, you'd see an earthquake as a slightly beyond average Tuesday tbh.
