According to a recent poll released by the Taiwan authorities, at least 16 million Taiwanese are willing to "fight to defend Taiwan." This result is worrying, even if the data is exaggerated, but the sense of belonging of Taiwan people is almost zero.
The poll results are worrying
As everyone knows, the official communication channels between the two sides of the strait have been frozen for many years.
The accident that occurred in the waters off Kinmen six months ago and killed a mainland fisherman was because there was no official communication channel between the two sides of the strait.
This is why this issue has not been resolved for a long time, triggering a new round of cross-strait political crisis.
So the official communication channels are frozen, what is the situation of the people?
The Taiwan authorities have recently given the results of a public opinion poll, which is really worrying.
Taiwan's National Defense and Security Research Institute released news that according to their latest opinion poll, the attitude of the Taiwan people towards the mainland seems to be extremely poor.
The survey is divided into three categories, the first being "security challenges facing Taiwan."
In this regard, 63.9% of respondents considered "Chinese mainland's territorial ambitions" to be a serious threat, 19.4% considered it an important but not serious threat, and only 9.5% considered it an unimportant threat.
In addition, 24.3 percent of respondents believe that the PLA may attack Taiwan within five years.
If this happens, 67.8% of respondents said they are willing to "fight to defend Taiwan."
According to this ratio, 23.5 million times 67.8%, that is, about 16 million Taiwan people, have such thoughts.
Smoke grenades or reality?
For the results of this poll, we must realize that this is an official release by the Taiwan authorities.
As a "Taiwan independence party," the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will inevitably have the opinion of one family as its poll results.
It does not fully represent the public opinion of all Taiwan people.
This can be seen from the fact that Lai Qingde and Xiao Meiqin won the 2024 Taiwan regional election, and the support rate is only 40%.
And the end of the poll also indicates that this survey is a telephone interview, which itself does not have the characteristics of being rigorous and formal.
The survey sample was only 1,214, and the data was not universal.
According to the DPP's consistent operation, it is likely that they will interview more Taiwan people in the base camp areas of "Taiwan independence."
Therefore, such a poll conclusion cannot be taken seriously.
In fact, the results of this poll are also to cooperate with the so-called "National Day" that the Taiwan authorities will hold on October 10.
This must not be taken lightly
However, the results of this poll have their limitations.
But on the other hand, the results of this poll also remind us that the number of people on the island of Taiwan who are separated from the mainland is definitely not a few.
To put it more bluntly, the majority of people on the island support the "Taiwan independence" and "Taiwan independence" stance.
So we can't trust all the numbers mentioned above, but we can't ignore them.
How to say that sentence, strategically contemptuous, tactically important.
Many people in Taiwan have now been brainwashed and have no feelings for the mainland, but their hatred for the mainland is deeper than that of the people of Western countries.
Such a situation will be very unfavorable to our reunification in the future.
Even if it is peaceful reunification, a series of administrative tasks after taking over Taiwan will be very complicated.
Referring to Hong Kong's return to the motherland for so many years, how many vicious incidents have occurred.
Therefore, with regard to the issue of reunification, we must be prepared for the worst and be prepared for the best.
