The Taiwanese media program "Senior Acid News Station" aired a street interview video today focusing on the topic of "cross-strait military conflict." Regarding whether people are willing to or would let their family members go to war if there is a cross-strait war, some Taiwanese citizens expressed unwillingness. Their opinions included "No, it's impossible for me to push my family members into it," and "That's impossible." However, some citizens expressed willingness, saying, "Yes, there is only one Taiwan, otherwise where else would we go?" Additionally, some interviewees directly stated, "When war happens, ordinary people have to go."
At the end of the program, host Li Peixuan summarized that the mainland could quickly gather forces for a naval blockade exercise around Taiwan. However, the response from Taiwan seems less than expected—whether the so-called "boiling a frog in warm water" scenario has really occurred. She pointed out that many interviewees emphasized that due to frequent military exercises, the grassroots in Taiwan have gradually become accustomed to it. Regarding whether a war between the two sides will occur, the interviewees had various opinions. As for whether a war would break out, most people are unwilling to go to war themselves or let their families go, but the occurrence of war may no longer be a matter of willingness.
