Taiwan has actually an actually good functioning democracy (unlike the US) and good civil liberties. They speak another language, have their own cultural heritage. If China invaded, they would loose their freedom of speech, China would impose on them Mandarin, like they do in Hong Kong, remove free media, introduce pro-CCP propaganda into children’s books, and introduce mass surveillance, just like they did in Hong Kong. Taiwanese enjoy their freedoms, they are quite rich by the global standards (and compared to China), so they wouldn’t benefit much from joining China or being forced into joining China
Taiwan is not sovereign, the government is a us puppet state, which is armed by us in gross violation of the us one china policy. If us puppet is your view of democracy then I see why you have no issue. All since beginning KMT was so horribly undemocratic, that even the maoists seemed very moderate. Some of the most vile stuff ive ever read came from kmt white terror(even wiki has some). I hope that im wrong, but the germans seem to like former nazi friendly states. Kmt had numerous connections to fascists and nazis.
Taiwanese are rich thanks to massive investments from US. As for the comparison to mainland, cpc managed an unprecedented in history wealth creation, comparing small part of china which received massive foreign capital inflow seems almost unreasonable.
Many taiwanese have also mainland residence, talk about not benefiting. What exactly do you mean by pro cpc propaganda? I get it it sounds bad, but why is it ok to run political ads in west and not in east?

The Wikipedia page for Taiwan alone would prove this to be utterly false. How can you speak with such authority when you know you’re talking out your ass?
The rest of you what you wrote isn’t much better. It’s just the standard anti-China & anti-communist Western propaganda talking points.
