Public opinion in Taiwan regarding China has preferred the status-quo, but nationalist sentiments have been rising in recent years. In this article, @wearytolove, @wupolisciusa, @FangYu_80168, and @yeh2sctw explain this contradiction and how China’s policy affects these opinions.

Did Taiwanese ⬆️ or ⬇️their will to fight after Russia invaded Ukraine? Both -- across 7 INDSR polls, TW ppl polarized their will to fight along with partisanship & the effect lasted for one year.

My team publishes an invited piece on @TheNatlInterest. We argue that the Biden-Xi meeting will not change the structure between CN and US, but will at least make allies feel safer.

In the newly released TNSS survey (Dec 9-14,2022), 78% of Taiwanese respondents support extending military training to 1 year. And 59% also agreed to mobilize all men to defend China's attack as #Ukraine did. The old gen indeed is willing to sacrifice themselves.
