  i like japan on a lot of stuff but one thing that encapsulates their society is when i visited their convenience store and there seems hundreds of “rules”. i keep hearing the native says it like “a nail that sticks out will get hammered down” and after visiting there, i understand…

  I’m guessing its meant for the devices thats already installed in class or belong to the school, so it gives them time to change or remove it.

  I’m going to give ph a benefit of the doubt. the missile system talked about is a mid range missile and afaik is incapable of delivering nuke payload or even effective if they added some nuke payload in it. they only have 16 of it installed, the rationale i think is that it may give them some ground to ask china to stop harassing fishing vessel without escalating and makes west taiwan looks bad without much compromise to its naval defences.

  another angle to look at it is that maybe ph is trying to distance to the us influence and maybe its just a politic talk to get other source of defence system capabilities from other part of the world.

  personally, i think south east asia and taiwan need its own harassing system developed and deployed to counter west taiwan harassment. nobody want escalation but they should be able to give same response if provoked.
