03:23Residents of fishing village of Badouzi in Keelung, northeastern Taiwan, shared opinions amid tensions ridge as China holds major military exercise.
"It’s like what happened to Ukraine, at first everyone guessed that there wouldn’t be war, but in the end the war erupted. No one is willing to go to war. It’s all because of the manipulation from powerful countries. Of course Taiwan doesn’t want to be in war, but politics are difficult to judge, it’s not for average citizens to decide, a lot of it is in the hands of big countries. If a war really erupts, then it’s not the politicians who are suffering, but the citizens," stressed resident Huang Tzi Shin.
Another resident Lu Wei Chen said the war has "a little chance" to happen. "I don’t think a war will start. But I’m still afraid that an unexpected issue would suddenly spark war. There might be unforeseeable situations, a little chance that can happen," resident shared.
Chinese air and naval exercise that is taking place until 7 August includes maritime drills at six locations around Taiwan, one of them is not far from Keelung.
