    from my experience in the US this is true as well. Remember that these people are Taiwanese that want to pursue closer ties with the West and that plenty of Taiwanese interact closely with the mainland in terms of business.

      Yes, the sample I have interacted with would likely be western-biased. I suppose that even the english-speaking Taiwanese people that I would interact with online would also be biased this way. This makes it difficult to get a true assessment. I am still inclined to put more weight on my personal experiences than on what is available online, so I currently hold the view that Taiwanese people tend to be against the unification with China and that most of them prefer to either remain as they are or move towards full independence. But I am interested in getting a broader vision.

        I think that’s fine so as long as they don’t become a military base ala Ukraine. Declare neutrality.

          the real problem is the government still claims the mainland, and not neutrality or independence

            Sure if they also give up any ridiculous claims to China as well.
