I bet that if war breaks out most of the ROC army will switch sides aswell as Kinman and Matsu islands who still call them selves Chinese.
Nope, whilst dozens of high ranking officers and generals within ROCA could do that, the mainstream NCOs and infantry are still comprised of native Taiwanese, who are mostly pro-independence and pro-Japan. The KMT itself is just a Shakespearean tragedy. They lost Mainland China in 1949. And they lost Taiwan in 2000 when DPP and pro-independence became mainstream. Unfortunately, the fight over Taiwan would likely be extremely bloody with the scale of mass violence unseen since the Korean War even without U.S. involvement. It is just a zero sum game for both sides.
