Will the prophecy of a Japan's catastrophic earthquake that will cause 300,000 deaths be accurate to July 5? Netizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan are in a panic, with some Hong Kong residents buying supplies to prepare for mountain refuge! Bitcoin drops below 94

The doomsday prophecy of a massive earthquake in the Nankai Trough of Japan has recently sparked 'tsunami-like' panic on social media in Hong Kong and Taiwan. With the Japanese government raising its earthquake risk assessment and a 25-year-old prophetic comic 'accurately hitting' the date, along with the aftershocks of a strong earthquake in Myanmar, some Hong Kong residents have begun to hoard supplies, plan escape routes, and even consider climbing mountains for refuge. However, experts point out that the panic is far greater than the actual risk, calling for the public to respond rationally.

In January 2025, the Japanese government's Earthquake Investigation Committee raised the probability of a magnitude 8 to 9 'huge earthquake' in the Nankai Trough within the next 30 years from 70% to 80%, and predicted economic losses could exceed 292 trillion yen, with a potential death toll of up to 298,000. The region has not experienced a major earthquake since the mid-1940s, and geological monitoring shows that energy accumulation has reached a critical point.
