The Taiwan Statebuilding Party yesterday criticized a new civil defense handbook, saying that it did not state that Taiwan would not surrender in case of an invasion.
Party Secretary-General Wang Sing-huan (王興煥) and the party’s sole former legislator, Chen Po-wei (陳柏惟), said that the handbook, released the day before by the All-out Defense Mobilization Agency, lacked practical information and is largely based on outdated concepts.
“Most importantly, it fails to stress that Taiwanese must unite to fight the enemy, and that our government and our armed forces will never surrender,” Wang said, adding that it should be revised for future editions.

Taipei, April 12 (CNA) The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has released a civil defense handbook aimed at teaching Taiwanese how to seek refuge in major nationwide emergencies, including a military conflict, to be better prepared for various contingencies.
Taiwan's military published a handbook on Tuesday advising civilians on how to prepare for a potential Chinese invasion, including where to find bomb shelters and how to stockpile emergency supplies.
