‘Look at Hong Kong and think of Taiwan,’ Tsai Ing-wen said. ‘We don’t want Hong Kong-style peace. We want dignified peace.’

    Believe it or not, a lot of younger Taiwanese people want to rejoin the mainland. Not exactly a majority yet, but it’s getting pretty close.

      What is your source for this ? Recent polls show reunification support is still <2%, with about 6% open to reunification eventually but not now.

      In 2018, before the crackdown in HK, the reunification support was 3%, with 13% open to it eventually - the events in HK have definitely significantly eroded support for reunification in Taiwan.

      I have family in Taiwan and literally don’t know a single Taiwanese person that wants reunification with the PRC.
