I'm rooting for the Keelung - it seems to be chasing down the Type 052D mercilessly
@ACuriousPLAFan Unfortunately it seems like siegecrossbow is right - people seemed to be just used to it. Until the moment missiles start landing people are content to just sit it out, instead of incurring the exit cost of having to sell their property and finding a place to emigrate to, find jobs etc. But actually it's surprising, because Taiwan is one of the few high income economies where there is a heavy net outflow of people, despite the democracy, freedom blah blah blah so perhaps some people are more far-sighted. Also, the more pro-mainland folks seem to think they won't be targetted, which is probably right, but they are discounting collateral damage

Looks like lithuanian delegations have arrived via commercial plane and looks like tourists lol
And they purposely made it "really clear" they are unofficial and more like actual tourists on potential business prospect. LOMFL
Where's all the black-suit with red ties? Where's the welcoming delegation? Where's the red carpet? Where's all the gung-ho?
This is just a school-children factory tour day trip in the eyes of real adults of the world.
What a LOMFL joke. GO HOME YOU KIDDOS!
Just about every foreign officials who visited Taiwan are paid one way or the other by the current Taiwan government. Ask @5unrise see if he knows about the background of the current foreign minister of Taiwan. There are some pretty interesting things about him and his family. He's a diehard pro-independent, may even be more so than the governor.

The Wanwanese...seeing the PLA surround them and conduct live fire exercises, thought they would also do some military drills.
They fired artillery and flares... but caused a bush fire in the mountains. These Wanwanese folks never cease to amuse.
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A fire broke out on an outer island during an artillery exercise held by the Taiwanese military on Friday evening (Aug. 5).
On the second day of massive live-fire drills being held by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) around Taiwan, Taiwan's Army also conducted live-fire exercises in Lienchiang County's Dongyin Township from 6-9 p.m. During the exercises, witnesses gave differing accounts of either tracer fire or flares landing on a hill behind Sanjia Village on Xiyin Island and starting a fire, reported .
The blaze quickly spread with some fearing it could engulf homes and nearby B&Bs. At 7:38 p.m. Dongyin Fire Brigade received a report of a fire in the area and dispatched two fire trucks, reported .
However, as the water supply was insufficient, firefighters had to go back and obtain more water and another fire truck was dispatched. The fire was brought under control by 9 p.m.
There were no reports of injuries or damage to nearby B&Bs or private homes. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

That's the whole idea...
Prime Minister of american puppet island is also here. Americans trying desperately to get irrelevant states to provoke China
Wonder what's going to be the response. Drills extended with more photo ops within 12nm?
