The island of taiwan also holds japan and south korea hostage: the north-south route. Are the geographical conditions of taiwan near perfection
The size of taiwan and hainan is not very different, but taiwan has 2. 3 times the population. The island is high in the middle, with its surroundings low, with two thirds of its central mountains and hills. Taiwan's plain/basin is about 30 per cent, with a low per capita arable land and a subsistence food rate of only one third on the mainland. The taipei basin covers 1 per cent of the island, while the population accounts for 1/4 million people。
The central mountains of taiwan are over above sea level, with 268 mountains above 3,000 metres. The high mountain range has led to a large number of north-south railways and highways on the island, which are very difficult to reach. At the same time, there are only half a million wild people in the handong valley and business lags behind。
The pacific rim volcanic belt is 40,000 kilometres long, is hoof-shaped and has 512 active volcanoes. Japan, mexico and chile are three well-known seismic countries in this seismic region. Taiwan province stepped on the western edge of the earthquake belt, with a very high frequency。
Owing to its unique location, taiwan is regularly hit by typhoons in the summer and autumn. In the spring and early summer, however, taiwan often did not rain for months and experienced drought. In april of this year, central taiwan experienced a water shortage crisis as a result of the ongoing drought, which led to a massive fall in the water table. At the same time, the mountains and plains are very different in their elevations, and rivers are too short to be easily exploited。
Taiwan has very few coal, gas and mineral resources and is highly dependent on imports for energy. Coal: australia, indonesia, russia, etc. Oil: saudi arabia, kuwait, united states, al-ausi, etc. Liquefied natural gas: qatar, australia, malaysia, russia, papua new guinea, etc。
But the strategic position of taiwan is very important. Taiwan is a 1,000-km radius, of which one fifth of the population of china is. The trans-shipment of goods from northern to southern china is also largely dependent on maritime transport in the east. The taiwan strait, with an average depth of 60 metres and a width of 200-400 kilometres, is extremely vulnerable to closure. If blocked, the continental maritime defence line would be split in two and forced to split up into two。
Taiwan is a two-way springboard for the asia-europe pacific and pacific asia-europe continents. The 1,000 km radius of taiwan is the centre of a fan-deep defence network. Once the defence network is in place, the first island chain, the ryukyu islands base, will be targeted。
Taiwan's geographical location is very bad, but the strategic position is perfect! We believe that taiwan will return to its homeland in the near future
