American Citizens to be Evacuated From Taiwan as Tensions Grow With China

The US government is reported to be currently organising the evacuation of Americans living in Taiwan.


BBC 12 JUNE 2023












According to a senior US intelligence person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to disclose the strategy, reported this evacuation planning has been ongoing for at least six months and has significantly increased over the last few months.

The official explained to the US outlet that the preparations have been prompted by a heightened level of tension, citing factors such as the visible build-up of forces and China's alignment with Russia concerning the situation in Ukraine.


A source with knowledge of the situation told them that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was a major factor in the planning for the evacuation.

The source claimed that Ukraine "Ukraine drove a relook at what the plans were".

The U.S. government has not released any announcements to the public, although Lt. Col. Martin Meiners is reported to have said when approached, "We do not see a conflict in the Taiwan Strait as imminent or inevitable."
