Do you think most Taiwanese people will fight back against China or concede to them?
I believe most Taiwanese will start sewing the Chinese 5 Star flags once the unification war begins.

As much as the DPP and KMT would like to sell the “Taiwanese” identity to the people, they just can’t live without Chinese food, Chinese dramas, Chinese culture etc. Everyday, these people pray to Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea,

they speak Mandarin Chinese and Fujianese dialect, eat Fujian cuisine and assorted food from other Chinese provinces brought to the island when Chiang Kai Shek lost the civil war.

DPP can drown the TV news with anti-China propaganda, things like mainland China has to resort to hunting for field rats for additional protein, and have a good laugh, but reality will seep through as they see Xiamen from Kinmen, and wonder how long could they keep lying to themselves.

11.11 is coming, Taiwanese would again join in some fun buying from Taobao, Jingdong, they use “亲“ to address the e-commerce sellers just like every Chinese.

The ROC soldiers are still mainly from the blue camp, ie, descendants of Waishenren and those who still have the belief that they are both Taiwanese and Chinese. They have been debating about Who are they fighting for / who are they defending? 為誰而戰？

Moreover, PLA is at least 10 times more powerful with superior weapons. Even when KMT had air and sea superiority and 5 times more troops, PLA beat them soundly. Do they want to fight for DPP? Do they want to fight for US? I think the answer is No.

When the Imperial Japanese took Taiwan, she killed 600,000, most of those killed were heroes who defied the Japanese invaders. The leftovers were people like Su Tseng Chang’s grandfather and grand uncle who sold out the anti-Japanese hero.

So when PLA comes, it would be these leaders who would open the gates for PLA.
