    If status quo means they are independent which they very much appear to me, then isn’t that overwhelming majority support for letting it be the way it is, i.e. not ruled by PRC? If it is ruled by it, then why did PRC bring their vessels to threaten its own people just a month ago?

      Status quo is that Taiwan is a province of China that’s not independent. That’s literally why the chart shows the support for becoming independent is practically non existent. If Taiwan was independent then there wouldn’t be a question of it becoming independent. Hope that helps clear up basic logic for you.

      Meanwhile, the real question is why the US still has presence in another country that’s half way across the world from it.
