As hostile forces have never died, the United States has long included China as its strategic missile target; Taiwan independence elements represented by Chen Shui-bian’s wolfish ambition to split the motherland and reunify has become more and more exposed. Therefore, we must seize the advantages of peacetime. At the right time, work hard to do a good job in civil air defense. If the construction of civil air defense is not strengthened in peacetime, it will be too late to dig a well in time of war.
