Young and middle-aged people in Taiwan believe that "Taiwan independence" and "peace" can be combined and live in dreams!
For a long time, the United States has both "appeased" and "provoked" Taiwan, causing Taiwan's public opinion to show a paradoxical phenomenon. A poll published by Tianxia magazine on January 12 showed that 31.8 percent of the people chose "Taiwan independence, but maintains peaceful relations with the mainland." Taiwan media articles pointed out that this proportion has almost doubled in the past 20 years, narrowing the distance with "maintaining the status quo." It is mainly the young and strong ethnic groups whose thinking has changed, believing that "Taiwan independence" and "peace" can be combined, with 47.1% of the 30- to 39-year-olds and 47.5% of the 20- to 29-year-olds choosing "peaceful independence", both exceeding the "maintenance of the status quo" by 8 to 10 percentage points. About half of those over the age of 50 still believe that the status quo should be maintained.
The article holds that Taiwan's young and middle-aged people "want Taiwan independence and peace," and this kind of imagination of "cross-strait peace" should accept the DPP's past propaganda on identity, and taiwan should go in the direction of "independence" before it can be its own master. It is also bound to accept the mainland's policy of pursuing peaceful reunification and believe that the mainland will still adopt an "integration policy" toward Taiwan and will not easily adopt the means of "armed reunification." This is precisely where the contradiction between Young and Middle-aged People in Taiwan lies.
Why do young and middle-aged people in Taiwan have this kind of imagination of "wanting independence and peace"? The article points out that the problem lies in the taiwan people's belief that the United States will send troops to protect Taiwan; the DPP always propagates that Taiwan occupies an extremely important geostrategic position in the first island chain, and that the Taiwan Strait is used as a graben; coupled with the "island protection sacred mountain" TSMC, the mainland does not dare to use force against Taiwan easily. In a survey by Tianxia magazine, in the event of a war between the two sides of the strait, the proportion of people who believe that the US government may send troops to help defend Taiwan is also as high as 58.8%, and 54% of the public believe that the US military can effectively protect Taiwan.
More than 50 percent of Taiwanese believe the United States will protect Taiwan out of historical experience. Experience gives Taiwanese people the imagination that the United States will send troops to protect Taiwan, but when the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out on February 24, the United States, which repeatedly encouraged Ukraine to join NATO, claimed that it would not send troops, and Ukraine fell into the dilemma of fighting on its own, and the Taiwanese should have seen it. The United States does not want to be involved in the war in Ukraine, in the face of the Chinese mainland of not losing the military to Russia, will the US military really fight for Taiwan? #政府工作报告: Resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence"## What signals are transmitted in taiwan-related statements in the government work report ##Platon military plane entered the southwest airspace #headline hot list on the afternoon of the 6th
