This is indeed a patriot and it is Taiwanese colors. PAC-3. The text at the side reads INERT Missile Round Trainer. So its unlikely to be a LIVE missile. Probably a training version with no LIVE missiles.
The “car plate“ of the truck is also in the style of the chinese car plates. 津F8238超. The company of the truck is from Xuzhou (with chinese characters can be read in front of the weapon system 徐州)
Taiwanese car plates format is different. Which is usually 3 letters with 3 or 4 numbers, or 4 numbers with 2 letters.
China car plates with have 1 chinese character (telling which province it is from) with 1 letters and then 4 numbers. Sometimes it ends with 1 more chinese character behind it.
So this photo very likely to be taken in china.
The tire of the patriot is deflated. The most likely situation is that this is a training dummy.
But more wild possibility is that, this is smuggled into China from Taiwan. (we never know).
Interesting photo.
