(Central News Agency reporter Lu Gang-chun, Hsinchu City, 18th) Kuma Academy pointed out that April is a possible season for a Chinese military landing, and only if all citizens reject "lying flat" and actively prepare for war can Taiwan's democracy and freedom be protected with firm will. Today, the academy held a civil defense drill, "Blue Magpie Action," in Hsinchu City, simulating urban evacuation and rescue during a war.
Kuma Academy CEO Zhu Fu-ming told the Central News Agency reporter that Kuomintang Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun recently visited China and emphasized that "peace requires lying flat." However, during her visit, Chinese military aircraft harassed Taiwan over a hundred times, and foreign media reported that China plans to increase cognitive warfare against Taiwan. Therefore, "peace requiring lying flat" is impossible.
Zhu Fu-ming pointed out that the Blue Magpie Action is a drill activity that leads the public on how to protect themselves facing a war. Since sea conditions are relatively stable in spring and autumn, making it conducive for landing operations, April was deliberately chosen. Hsinchu, as an important high-tech industry hub, has a crucial strategic position. Holding the drill around the Hsinchu train station embeds civil defense awareness at the local level.
A press release provided by Kuma Academy stated that the drill scenario assumed damaged homes and paralyzed communications. The public had to rely on limited resources in their "survival kits" to assist in massive casualty rescues in a chaotic urban environment and collaborate with other allies to find shelters.
In the press release, a participant shared that during the drill, they could not rely on mobile phone positioning and had to find landmarks based on limited clues, which felt extremely realistic. Facing the situation in the Taiwan Strait, the most direct defense is improving self-rescue resilience, and one must absolutely not entrust their lives to the enemy's mercy.
Kuma Academy noted that facing the threat of war, the most terrifying thing is not just weapons but collective public panic. Through the "Blue Magpie Action" reality drill, people can clearly realize the practicality of supplies in survival kits and maintain calm under pressure. Only by refusing to lie flat and actively preparing can the public protect Taiwan's democracy and freedom with unwavering will. (Editor: Li Heng-shan) 1150418
