The latest issue of the British magazine Economist features a radar map of Taiwan on its cover and describes “Taiwan as the most dangerous place on earth” if war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, sparking heated debate. Wu Feng, a Taiwanese son-in-law from Turkey, said in a Facebook post on the 5th, “I will not lose my trust in Taiwan and the joy in my life because of this.”
On the cover of the latest issue of The Economist, a large map of Taiwan is drawn, covered with radar indicators, while on the left and right sides of the map are small dots showing the Chinese Communist People’s Liberation Army and the U.S. military fleet respectively. The cover headline reads “The most dangerous place on Earth” and the subtitle reads “The United States and China must work harder to avoid a possible future war in Taiwan” ( (America and China must work harder to avoid war over the future of Taiwan).

So I won’t lose my trust in Taiwan, and the joy in my life because of this incident.”
Wu Feng, who came to Taiwan in his early years to study, said that when he got his scholarship, there were some problems between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and he knew that this was a long-standing situation in history, and that “Taiwanese people are very insistent on facing this matter in a peaceful way, without using the military to deal with it.”
Wu Feng said that, in fact, everyone is optimistic about the life and future development of Taiwan. Although the political reality before them may make people unhappy and even sometimes fear the outbreak of war, he believes that a major war will not solve all problems, even though in case of war, all problems will become more difficult to solve.

He believes, “Taiwan will have the strength to protect itself, and many countries in the world will stand by Taiwan’s side.” And he said, “I hope that my friends on the other side of the border will see the world from the same perspective of peace as the Taiwanese do! This is everyone’s wish.”
Netizens have left comments that resonate, “See the world with a peaceful perspective, love this quote.” “Thank you Wu Feng for loving Taiwan so much, it’s so touching.” “Wu Feng’s choice to live in Taiwan is a very wise decision. Taiwan is the happiest place in the world!” “The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Isn’t the epidemic prevention in Taiwan a proof of this saying? It’s because of the government’s heartfelt efforts and the people’s united efforts to fight the epidemic.”
