Fun fact: satellite photos of China's largest military base show that it contains a detailed, lifesize replica of a part of downtown Taipei including the presidential palace.
I wonder what the soldiers on that base might be training for?

- megous 6y agoThey also have Eiffel tower. Probably not because they want to invade France.
- whoooooo123 6y agoMaybe it's a disinformation campaign to weaken Taiwan's defenses by tricking us into redeploying half our troops to Paris because we're not sure where the attack will be.
