Tattoo artist, Su Chun, 39, tattoos a customer at his studio in Taipei city, Taiwan, May 28, 2022. Those preparing against a threat from China include Su, who was determined to learn how to use air guns. "I wanted to learn some combat skills, including those that are not just limited to using a gun. Maybe skills to be able to react to any kind of situation," he said. But gun training would be useful if the government called up reservists like himself to repulse a Chinese invasion, Su added. "Most people don't want to go to war, I also don't want to go to war, but in the unfortunate event of this really happening, I will be mentally prepared." REUTERS/Ann Wang
