This seems to support the idea that they are afraid China will take military action against them. Even this article states that the reason many do not want an independent country is for fear of retaliation by China.
I suppose we’ll see if you’re right about China not attacking Taiwan, and I have friends there so I really do hope you’re right.

I’ve already said that the majority presently want the status quo, so I’m not sure why you’re just adding to my point. Nothing is static, as the US Empire falls and Taiwan economically would gain far more through further integration, then it’s highly likely that these stats will change accordingly. This will probably take decades, but there’s no reason to get antsy, and Taiwan does not want to turn into a second Ukraine.
