> And public opinion in Taiwan for resisting China has slightly shifted toward accomadation.
Huh? No it hasn’t. Taiwan doesn’t want to end up like Hong kong. They know the 1 country 2 systems doesn’t exist. Taiwan is already an independent country. They just want to keep status quo so China will leave them alone.
There is still widespread anti-unification support, but, as with everything, it's a bit more complex. Recent elections took a bit of the wind out of its sails. Chinese military excercises have taken somewhat of a toll. I know they don't want to end up like Hong Kong, but these public shifts matter if the people don't think they are being supported internationally.
Local elections don’t have any influence on national elections. Green always loses more to blue. The issue at national level isn’t anything to do with anti unification or anything like that. Alot of people here feel like real issues are not being dealt with. Like the cost of living continues to go up and isn’t addressed.
Well, I hope you're right. I'd hate to see Taiwan fall. It will be up to the Taiwanese on how hard they want to fight. Unfortunately, if they sense it's a losing proposition, many may end up throwing in the towel. That's what I fear.
