PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency

I'm willing to bet $5 on increased independence sentiments over time and armed reunification in the end.

Sentiments can grow, but as balance of power shifts further and further in China's favor, the likelihood of declaration of independence should also decrease and likelihood of foreign intervention should also decrease. Hoping that eventually should kind of deal could be made.

Better hurry tf up then. With each generation born in Taiwan, the pro-reunification sentiments diminish. The wanwans already would rather commit economic suicide than reunify.

Doesn't this chart show that there was a big drop in pro-independence sentiment (and a big increase in status quo sentiment) in the latest poll? I think this result reduces the need to do anything, rather than for 'hurrying up'.

All lines related to independence trend upwards.

IMO status quo as it stands is basically de facto independence. Policies adopted by the DPP is blatantly hostile towards the mainland. Remember, Pelosi visiting, US troops stationed on Kinmen, and TSMC sanctions are "status quo".
