For some time now, in response to the DPP authorities' increasingly arrogant and provocative arrogance of plotting "independence," the mainland has launched intensive operations; in addition to issuing solemn warnings from various departments, recently, PLA military aircraft have also been intensively shining their swords around the Taiwan Strait. This series of actions has also made the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island feel afraid. At the same time, the DPP authorities, which fantasize about the United States ' assisting in the defense of Taiwan , wantonly advocate that "the mainland does not dare to use force." Under this tone, public opinion on whether the Taiwan people are afraid of the mainland's "armed reunification" has aroused heated discussion on the island. However, a recent latest poll on the island was announced, and the lies of Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, could not be concealed.

According to a november 4 report by the Taiwan Strait Network, Taiwan media sources said that the latest poll released by the "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation" on the 2nd showed that when faced with the mainland's armed solution to the Taiwan issue, only 11 percent of the people believed that the Tsai authorities were very well prepared, while 60 percent of the people believed that war would not break out between the two sides of the strait. In this regard, after analyzing the results of the polls, You Yinglong, chairman of the "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation," pointed out that the overwhelming majority of Taiwanese people are calm about the recent sharp rise in military affairs in the Taiwan Strait, which is likely to be based on traditional wisdom, based on the experience of the past few decades, and on the fact that in recent years the mainland has made enemies with major countries in the world headed by the United States, and the international community has paid unprecedented attention to the situation in the Taiwan Strait. No matter how tough the military intimidation against Taiwan is, it is all a false move, and it will not play the real thing.

However, You Yinglong believes that from three aspects, the Taiwanese people still have very deep concerns about whether the two sides of the strait will go to war: First, when the mainland resolves the Taiwan issue by force, less than half of the adults in Taiwan society have confidence in the ability of the Taiwan military to effectively defend Taiwan. Second, if war breaks out between the two sides of the strait, 50 percent of Taiwanese over the age of 20 basically agree that pro-China forces in Taiwan may be a major problem; third, in the face of the mainland's possible use of force to resolve the Taiwan issue, most Taiwanese adults do not think that the Tsai authorities are fully prepared, especially among young, highly educated people.

It is worth mentioning that recently, Zhang Bin, a well-known military commentator, said bluntly in a television program about the issue of the Taiwan military's combat strength that the Taiwan military is war-weary and has no combat effectiveness. Moreover, Zhang Bin mentioned that some Taiwan parents are telling their children who are soldiers what to do once there is a war between the two sides of the strait, and some children say "surrender", but the parents say no, the parents mean "first arrest your commander and then surrender". It can be seen from this that once the People's Liberation Army carries out an armed attack on Taiwan, it will be a disaster for Taiwan, and they actually understand it in their hearts within the Taiwan military.

In addition, Qiu Yi, a well-known commentator on Taiwan's current affairs, recently mentioned in an article on his personal self-media platform that many people on the island have asked him when the mainland will launch a reunification action, why has the mainland not made a big move after Tsai Ing-wen first admitted that there are US troops in Taiwan? It is not difficult to see that the people on the island still have strong concerns about whether the mainland will use force. In this regard, Qiu Yi said, "The mainland has long been prepared for reunification, but it is just waiting for the best time, and the current immobility is exactly the prelude to the coming thunder strike." Obviously, this "best time" refers to the fact that once the Taiwan authorities cross the red line, the PLA is bound to attack.
