Taiwan media: If a war breaks out, Tsai Ing-wen will turn 13,000 convenience stores into intelligence stations. Multiple local media outlets reported that four "informed individuals" on the island told The Guardian UK that if a war breaks out between mainland China and Taiwan, the PLA is expected to blockade the sea around the island, cut off external aid channels, as well as internet and telephone communication with the outside world, and paralyze the island's railway, land, and air transportation systems. In response, the Tsai Ing-wen administration has made preparations and plans to utilize the 13,000 "7-Eleven convenience stores" spread across the island as intelligence transmission stations. At that time, civilians can walk to nearby convenience stores to pick up emergency rations and medical supplies for wartime, and use the mobile hotspots provided by the convenience stores to contact the outside world. What is referred to as "contacting the outside world" would likely include not only contacting family members but also transmitting intelligence. It is understood that Tsai Ing-wen mainly took advantage of the widespread distribution of chain convenience stores on the island, as well as their well-established logistics transportation system and convenient services such as providing mobile hotspots. However, it seems clear that this plan of his is nothing more than empty talk on paper. Firstly, if there is a war on the island, would convenience store employees still show up for work? If the island's transportation system is paralyzed, could the logistics system of convenience stores still function? If the island is already blockaded, how would the supplies for convenience stores be replenished? Does Tsai Ing-wen think the shelves in convenience stores can "automatically refresh" with goods? Will the PLA not target convenience stores? Secondly, regardless of whether ordinary people have the professional ability to gather intelligence, during a war, Tsai Ing-wen still wants civilians to risk their lives to provide intelligence for the DPP authorities. This shows he doesn't care about the lives of the people on the island at all.
