CNN traces Taiwan's military past as Beijing warns island to 'prepare for war'
As Beijing steps up its military propaganda and warns Taiwan to “prepare for war,” experts say the bigger threat to the island and western democracies is the large-scale cyberattacks that could potentially paralyze physical infrastructure and business simultaneously.

Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed to former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou on Wednesday that external interference would not impede the "family reunion" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He emphasised that all issues are open for discussion. Since the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following a civil war loss to Mao Zedong's communists, no sitting Taiwanese leader has visited China. However, Ma, who served as president from 2008 to 2016, broke this pattern last year, marking the first visit by a former Taiwanese leader to China. This visit, Ma's second, occurs amid heightened military tensions in the region.

The recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook Taiwan, leaving widespread devastation in its path. Amidst the chaos, one structure stood resilient: Taipei 101, formerly the world's tallest skyscraper.
While countless buildings succumbed to the tremors, Taipei 101's survival can be attributed to its innovative design, featuring a massive steel orb known as a tuned mass damper. This architectural marvel, constructed with a combination of reinforced concrete and steel, enabled the skyscraper to sway with the seismic waves without suffering any damage.

Taiwan lashed out at China on Thursday, branding Beijing's deputy ambassador to the United Nations as "shameless" for expressing gratitude to the international community following a powerful earthquake on the island. The rift underscores the ongoing tension between the two, as China asserts sovereignty over Taiwan, despite its democratic governance. Taipei fiercely opposes Beijing's attempts to represent it on the global stage, given the absence of any historical authority over the island.

Taiwan Hit With Strongest Earthquake , in 25 Years.
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked
Taiwan early on April 3, AP reports.
Nine people have been confirmed dead so far.
Over 900 others have been injured.
Dozens of people are
trapped in buildings and quarries. .
The massive quake prompted a
tsunami warning that has since been lifted.
Taiwan is usually one of the best-prepared countries for earthquakes, as it experiences them often.
This is because Taiwan is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where most of the planet's earthquakes occur, AP reports. .
But authorities failed to send out alerts this time because they only expected a mild earthquake.
I’ve grown accustomed
to (earthquakes). But today
was the first time I was scared
to tears by an earthquake. , Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.

demolished, 35 bridges, roads and
tunnels were damaged by landslides
