Xiamen issued a “family material reserve list”, arousing private speculation | reserve family emergency supplies | Xiamen Emergency Management Bureau | Tensions in the Taiwan Strait

[EpochTimesAugust192021]The Xiamen Emergency Management Bureau recently issued a document recommending citizens to reserve emergency supplies for their families. Under certain circumstances, this matter is interpreted by the public as the possibility of an escalation of the Taiwan crisis. With public opinion Fermentation, this matter has caused panic among the business community, and so far, the official noncommittal attitude has also caused popular speculation to continue to heat up.

A document issued by the Xiamen Emergency Management Bureau on August 13 shows that the bureau, in the name of the proposal, requires citizens to reserve necessary emergency supplies, and listed the basic version of the recommended inventory of materials and the expanded version of the materials. Reserve a list of recommendations.

The basic list released by it is divided into three categories: emergency supplies, emergency tools, and emergency medicines, and 10 types of materials, while the expanded version consists of 67 types of materials in six categories.

Hong Tao, a veteran media person, believes that the official release of such documents at this sensitive time and in places like Xiamen, which has always been regarded as the frontline of confrontation in the Taiwan Strait, must be reminiscent.

Hong Tao said: “It may also be a state of emergency drill. It is nothing more than the fact that the parties concerned appear to attach importance to it, convey a kind of information, and create some tension. Because it is from Fujian and Xiamen, many people speculate that it may be related to the situation in the Taiwan Strait. It’s hard to say what the reason is. It’s not convenient for us to analyze it too deeply. This kind of thing is now a sensitive topic.”

A reporter from Radio Free Asia found that since January this year, in addition to this annex, Chinese officials have frequently issued so-called household emergency supplies stock lists in southeast coastal areas such as Guangzhou, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The rhetoric of the Emergency Management Agency is to improve the people’s ability to help themselves in emergencies.

In fact, the official notification has also aroused public concern. According to feedback from local business people, after the news spread, local business people felt uneasy. If the situation in the Taiwan Strait deteriorates, their life accumulation may be in vain.

Mr. Wu, a person in the legal profession who requested anonymity, also clearly pointed out that the official uniform order itself is an act of combat readiness. He believes that judging from the increasingly radical practices of the CCP over the past few years, it cannot be ruled out that they have an attempt to take risks in the Taiwan Strait.

Mr. Wu said, “That means preparing for war. It’s very simple. It’s hard to say when it will erupt. Think about it. As an international financial center, Hong Kong is destroyed when he says it is destroyed. I care. Is Xiamen such a place? I don’t care at all. The Chinese Communist regime has a characteristic. It wants to achieve a goal at all costs. What is all costs? As long as it does not collapse, it can do anything else. “

A reporter from Radio Free Asia also called the Xiamen Emergency Management Bureau. A source from the agency said that the release of a list of household emergency supplies is currently not compulsory and has nothing to do with the Taiwan Strait, but he could not answer more questions.

Emergency Management Bureau: “It’s okay, it’s a suggestion. Where are you? You have to ask for specifics. You can ask the office, they are more appropriate, okay. You ask me such a big question, how can I explain it clearly? what?”

At the end of last year, the Chinese Communist Party officially began to vigorously promote the storage of food for the people, and after encouraging people to store food at home for more than half a year, the Ministry of Emergency Response also promoted the storage of emergency supplies for families in various places. This is all accused of thinking in the Mao Zedong era of the last century. An upgraded version of “Digging Deep Holes and Accumulating Food”. But so far, the official motives for pushing these measures are still unclear.
