Well surely it was as the civil war is 70 years over, since the fall of Hainan. There would be many decades of martial law before the democratic reforms. So it wasn't about what Taiwanese citizens then wanted.
Who is definitively right? I have no doubt it will remain a sticking point in relations between Taiwan and PRC for decades to come. It seems unlikely that Taiwan and CCP will reach amicable agreement.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoThere has not been military action in a long time but it is obviously not over. If it was over we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's like Germany and Vietnam before, Korea today. I would also note that Taiwan had a KMT President no later than 2015 and he was very much "anti-independence". In fact when asked about it he very aptly answered that the Republic of China was indepedent since its founding in 1912.
