The Chinese government has reportedly sent memos to citizens, warning them to stockpile foods/goods and prepare for war, according to a podcaster named Cindy Yu who claimed that her parents received a message like that.
The podcaster, when who wondered how the tension over the island of Taiwan is surging into a potential hostile situation, said she didn't know if the memos were sent from overzealous officials.

“In China, my family and friends have been given the advice to start stockpiling.
“I don’t know how much of that is local government or officials taking their job too zealously… but there are memo’s going out right now saying you might want to start thinking about stockpiling for war,” Yu said.
Speaking to David Runciman on his _Talking Politics _podcast, she added; “The reaction from people that I know in China are just saying let’s think about tinned foods, and this sort of stuff, if we take Taiwan and the Americans retaliate, and they pursue supply chains, what could happen to us, ordinary people?”
Giving his opinion on the potential that a conflict could erupt between the US and China, the commentator said; “The wheels are in motion, and I don’t know how it’s going to turn out.”
Although the US has vocally admitted that it is bound to protect the rights of Taiwan, it fails to outright recognise the island nation as a sovereign state and openly backs the notion of the One China policy.
