Premier Su Tseng-chang said the Taiwanese government fears neither death nor imprisonment in the face of potential 'annexation' by China.
Asked whether President Tsai Ing-wen and her cabinet would flee the island in the event of an imminent attack, Su Tseng-chang, Taiwan's 74-year-old premier, offered a resolute response.
"Today, a powerful country wants to annex Taiwan through the use of force. Likewise, we fear neither death nor imprisonment. We will safeguard this country and this land," he added. "Furthermore, the real and bloody lessons of Afghanistan show us that internal chaos renders any external assistance ineffective. Only those who help themselves will be helped by others," he added.
