I think DPP's stance has been unambiguously clear, the current tension is mostly focused on the mainland's reaction. KMT has been inline with mainland's ambiguous definition and to be fair any chinese person (including Taiwanese residents) would understand why given that they were educated about the history of civil war and both parties' ambition for unification. KMT's decline has given rise to an increase sense of identity. But when I met many people my age (70s - 80s), they were traditionally educated to 'recover' mainland and they vowed to work hard to achieve that. Now apparently status quo is changing. So I'm a little baffled that in the west the talking point is about who owns who but we all know it's not the point but maintaining or breaking status quo is.
