> "invade" = western propaganda > The proper word is "reunite", as it was agreed with the US So the US and the PRC had some milquetoast diplomatic correspondence which did not include Taiwan. If the PRC now occupies Taiwan against the will of its people and population, presumably under fire from the Taiwanese army, it' just a "reunification"?

Taiwanese are pro-reunification, Tsai wich is pro-US and pro-indepandance had quit due to her party loosing local elections https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Taiwan-elections/Taiwan-s-Tsai-quits-as-party-leader-after-heavy-local-election-losses https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Taiwan-elections/Taiwan-s-T... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/2024_Legislative_Yuan_election.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/2024_Leg...

  An election result is not a single-issue poll and the current government supports the status quo anyway (just being fundamentally more open to dialogue). A clear majority of the opulation supports de-facto independence (the current status) or even formal independence [0].

    "It's only a democracy if the results suits our interests" You are not being objective, a poll is not a vote In a vote, the registered population gets to vote using official ID In a poll, only 'god' knows who the respondents are

      But no big party supports reunification with the current Chinese government, at best they have it as a long term goal. The election results do not show what you're claiming.

  Very misleading to link to the legislative election results, when the KMT party only won 33% of the Presidential vote. And on top of that the KMT's actions when in power are to preserve the status quo (effectively independent, make money, avoid war), even if their long term vision is peaceful unification with a democratic China.
