      And they will almost certainly stay in power because Taiwan is a US vassal state and it is in Washington’s interests to cultivate a hostile to the mainland culture and politics, to cultivate obedient compradors who if Washington says “commit suicide and attack the mainland to goad them into invading” will say yes.

      Look at Hong Kong and what that education system looks like, the propaganda, the deeply instilled western colonization of the minds, that and more is what they have in mind for Taiwan. To make it more than just a target that resists militarily, but one full of people who will not submit peacefully or at all to Beijing rule or peace with them or even being called Chinese, who can when the time comes be armed, engaged in terrorist action to cause China to react and to bog them down.

      The KMT is pro reunification tho

      Maybe now. Not so much until they lost the power as evidenced by no reunification in the decades before.

        We have a saying in the PRC regarding the two, the DPP are overtly pushing independence while the KMT are doing it covertly.

        Though to be somewhat fair, there were proposals put forth in the past (even if unrealistic) by the KMT such as forming a federation (which was rejected by the mainland in 2001).
