"Taiwan on High Alert as Chinese Satellite Launch Sparks Emergency Response"

A Chinese satellite launch triggered a nationwide emergency alert in Taiwan, causing confusion and alarm as the English portion of the message erroneously translated "satellite" to "missile". The launch came just days before Taiwan's presidential election, adding to existing tensions between the two countries. Taiwan's defense ministry later confirmed it was a satellite, not a missile, and apologized for the oversight in the English language used in the alert. The incident prompted unusual Twitter activity and confusion among the public, with many initially misreading the message.
