The Biden administration is working on preparing plans to evacuate Americans in Taiwan, The Messenger reported Monday.
The federal government’s plans have been in the works for at least six months, according to The Messenger, which cited three sources with knowledge of the plans. Anticipation of a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan has been mounting as China’s military encroachment of waters and airspace has heated up in recent months.
The planning has “heated up over the past two months or so” due to “heightened level of tension,” a senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the planning, told The Messenger. The source said that the plans have been motivated by “forces building up” and “China aligning with Russia on Ukraine.”
“There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China,” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared in August.
The planning has been kept under wraps due to sensitivity, one source told The Messenger.
“Even talking about an [evacuation plan] starts people thinking something may be going on even if it is just prudent planning,” a former State Department official said, according to The Messenger.
An evacuation of Americans from Taiwan couldn’t be done without challenges, according to The Messenger, citing one source who said “the physical geography of Taiwan is a big factor.” The plans are still in the works, including how to navigate the challenging mountainous geography.

When Biden offers to evacuate the President of Taiwan, she has to say no. I need ammunition, not evacuation. Freedom is for the brave. The cowardly aren’t worthy of being free.
I’m sure it will be handled with the same “Finesse” as the Afghanistan withdrawal.
“Freedom is for the brave. The cowardly aren’t worthy of being free.”

A particularly noteworthy post. +1
Good thing we know how!
If this were true, then were are the reports of us sending ship loads of arms to Taiwan over the last several months....?

Oh really? One hint might be that the CCP calls for the conquest of Taiwan nearly every day. I doubt that anyone on Taiwan is unaware of this. Unless maybe Xiden is visiting there now
There were roughly 80,000 Americans living in Taiwan as of 2019, according to The Messenger.

Actually that was from a crowd hoping to buy scalper tickets for Taylor Swift.
Detroit one had $1,500 to $8,000 tickets with people fighting over them last weekend.

Not planning is the criminal act
There have likely been US plans made every year for such and put in place since Shiang Kai Sheck went there, so this wouldn’t be anything new.
Biden will probably use an old outdated one so the Dems can blame whatever administration the plan was made under...
We need those chips Mr. sort of President...Stop aggravating the situation. And Taiwan is a trade partner...not an ally.

So Biden is willing to help white people (Ukraine)defend themselves, but not others (Afghans and Taiwanese).
China has gotten an excellent return on their investment in our government’s leadership.
WHO says they will all want to leave Taiwan- just one look around here probably scares the hell out of the ex-pats.
Good thing President Trump is out of office
Things are going swimmingly
Pretty sure there’s been a CONOP gathering dust on somebody’s shelf on this topic...
