Shall I just go ahead and assume that you're pro-Chinese and anti-Taiwan and that anything I might say positively about Taiwan will be taken negatively by you?
If so I'll just go ahead and end this discussion. You seem very adamant about pushing an anti-Taiwan agenda no matter what I show.

I'm a Taiwanese. Most Taiwanese don't want independence. I suggest you start listening to the Taiwanese mainstream rather than foolishly believe every Taiwanese is seeking independence and being all gung-ho about defending us. Taiwanese are practical people. We know that business is what made Taiwan rich in the first place. A wealthy middle-class is the basis of Taiwan's democracy, in fact. Some Taiwanese actually think that Taiwan's democracy can remain healthy and vibrant even if Taiwan's businesses (particularly hi-tech) which are the foundation of Taiwan's wealth don't make adjustments to new economic realities. These people are born fools. These people are living in a dreamworld. Taiwan gets 50% of its GDP from exports, but Taiwan's exporters are all moving to the mainland now. The best chance Taiwan has is to invest in China, thereby keeping Taiwan's own businesses healthy, and returning profits back to Taiwan.
