A majority of Taiwanese support independence. Only 11% want to re-unite with the mainland one day. Taiwan has to continue to support the status quo because China will most likely declare war on them if they change that.
This is the same China that couldn’t wait a few years to let Hong Kong fully transfer over before cracking down with brutal protests (Which helped the Taiwanese independence movement a lot). If they feel like Taiwan is going to go independent, it’s pretty likely they’ll make another rash ill thought out decision.
I think you misunderstand what the person you are replying to is saying. He isn’t saying that the majority of Taiwan considers itself part of the CCP and wants to reunite with the current Chinese government. He is saying they consider Taiwan as part of Taiwan’s China and would like to rule over China again with the CCP gone. Taiwan is where the Chinese ruling party fled to when the rebels won the civil war, which was then taken over by another country, then another country, then set free to be independent, and now the CCP/China wants Taiwan to be in their fold.
I disagree with the assessment that the CCP won’t risk an invasion in the next decade, though.
The younger generation think of themselves as Taiwanese. Believing they still own the mainland and will reclaim to reunite the countries is not what people believe or want these days.
Taiwan does not want the rule over the mainland, it wants to be its own country.
No.
