As a Chinese mainlander, I find this fascinating. I live in Europe and have met some Taiwanese friends. There's some sort of unspoken rule between Taiwanese and mainlandes who want to hang out together: you don't talk about politics. Nobody forced the "rule", it just happened naturally. Growing up being taught that "Taiwan is part of China", and I always know that Taiwan wants to be independent. But I never heard that "China is part of Taiwan". I even burst out laughing when I first heard it. Because come on, are you serious? The "China" that has stood there for thousands of years, belongs to an island? But hearing the two ladies explain it in the video, I guess I see the logic behind it. When I was younger, I would defend the logic that I was taught, because that's waht you grew up learning, it's part of your value system, it's part of YOU. But now, I just wish whatever logic it is, it can make regular people's life better. People are what matters, not ideas.

Taiwanese of a certain generation did indeed grow up being taught to think of the relationship between China and Taiwan in terms of an unfinished civil war, and in fact, Taiwan held the UN seat as China until the late 70's. So the twisted logic that made you laugh is just as fantastical and ridiculous as (albeit the flip side of) the one China feeds its people. But the difference is, that kind of propaganda ended in Taiwan in the 90's when one party dictatorship ended, and freedom of speech and press allowed for diversity in media and education, thereby enriching public opinions regarding the China Taiwan issue. The sentiment articulated by the two ladies is no longer the majority opinion held by the younger generation as a result. The same cannot be said about China.

Interesting series of interviews, but I have to call out that the caption translation has a number of inaccuracies. There are a lot of times when interviewees respond with 大陸 or Mainland China, while the captions simply say China. There are subtle but significant differences when you reference Mainland China vs China, as the use of the term Mainland may assume that there is a broader China, of which the Mainland is a part of. Additionally, there are times when interviewees responded with 主權, or sovereignty, while the captions translated it as independence. There are huge differences in those concepts. Maintaining sovereignty and declaring independence can mean the difference between peace vs war, respectively. I'm not usually one to nit pick translations and captions of KZread videos, but when it comes to such a sensitive topic where the doctrine of whether or not a world super power goes to war is predicated on subtle linguistic expressions, these slight inaccuracies can really convey a significantly different view to viewers who are not familiar with the complexities of cross-strait relations.

The largest trading partner of Taiwan Province of the Republic of China is still the mainland of the people's Republic of China (using the definition of the United Nations). As far as I know, the current government has revised the teaching materials, deleted many parts of Chinese traditional culture, and no longer considers itself the Republic of China. This is an act of seeking change. This change may lead to bad results. Peaceful coexistence with the mainland over the past few decades has been conducive to Taiwan's economy. The current government is following the footsteps of the United States, hostile to the mainland and limiting many trade activities (such as medical resources and chips), so the mainland has resumed the normal quarantine of agricultural products. This is actually detrimental to economic development. But many people simply attribute it to one-sided reasons. I hope the final result is good.

Chinese mainland bought 45% of all Taiwan's export every year, so China is not treating Taiwan like enemy. But the Taiwan current government relies on anti-China to get votes, so the situation in the strait will only be more dangerous. Also, like one interviewee said TW is used by US to stop China development. Hope the people in TW realised that and maintain the good relationship with both countries. Wish world peace.

At least they know it's Republic of China, not "country of Taiwan".

In all official maps, Taiwan is a part of China, both in the constitutions of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, Taiwan is also a part of China, the Chinese living in Taiwan call their country the Republic of China, which is also written in in their constitutions and on the cover of their passports. There is no country called "Taiwan" in the world. In fact, the civil war in China that started in 1945 has not ended. Some of the 23 million Chinese living in Taiwan want to split from China, while the 1.4 billion Chinese people Most of them are completely unacceptable. If a vote is used to decide whether or not Taiwan is independent, the party that advocates Taiwan's independence will have an overwhelming defeat. The United States has taken advantage of this chaotic situation and used it to create trouble for China in an attempt to contain China's development, and the current ruling party in Taiwan also regards American military power as their only bargaining chip for survival. The real purpose of the United States is to dominate the Pacific Ocean and block other countries on the mainland, especially China. Because of Taiwan's important strategic location, the United States regards it as a pawn to restrict China. Once the Pacific War begins, Taiwan will surely become a battleground for both sides, and the artillery fire will be ruthless. The United States is seeking the entire Pacific Ocean, and China can only smoothly free up its legs to move forward by putting its testicles (Taiwan) back in its crotch.Westerners firmly believe that as long as they fight against China, they will get good rewards. This is not only political correctness in the West, but it has become a religion.
