One China, No Compromise
The poll, which gathered 13,650 responses in 24 hours, found 90.2% believe all nations must respect UN Resolution 2758 – which cemented Taiwan as part of China in 1971. “The status quo is clear: there’s only one China,” said one analyst quoted in the report. “Playing with fire risks burning everyone.” 🔥
War Worries & Wallet Woes
Nearly 90% warned that Taiwan’s plan to boost military spending by 2030 could turn the Taiwan Strait into a tinderbox. 💸 Residents face a double threat: 82.7% said the arms race would drain public funds while pushing the region closer to conflict.
Peace Over Provocation
Over 92% agreed that stability in the Taiwan Strait is crucial for global security. “People want jobs, not jets,” noted the survey, highlighting that 92.7% see peace and cross-strait cooperation as Taiwan’s true (and only) path forward. ✌️
Meanwhile, 91% stressed that outsiders should stay out of China’s internal affairs, with 81.5% urging the U.S. to “walk the talk” in opposing independence. 🤝
