China’s advice to store up necessities sparks panic-buying and speculation of Taiwan war

LA Times  

A woman shops at a supermarket in Beijing after the Chinese government encouraged people to stock up on necessities in case of emergency. A seemingly innocuous government recommendation for Chinese people to store up necessities for an emergency quickly sparked scattered instances of panic-buying and online speculation: Is China going to war with Taiwan? China’s state media have covered the rising tensions with Taiwan heavily, including the often-tough words exchanged between China on one side and the U.S. and Taiwan on the other. “We should believe the government’s explanations, but the underlying anxiety deserves our thought.” He said the populist views cheerleading for war don’t represent majority opinion but do send a signal or warning to Taiwan. It’s difficult to gauge how many people interpreted the notice as a possible prelude to war, but the reaction was strong enough to prompt a state media response the next day.
