Concerning polling on Taiwanese identityBy Yang Chih-chiang 楊智強According to the most recent My Formosa poll released on Dec. 1, 26.4 percent of respondents agreed that “both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong under one China,” up from 17.4 percent in March from the same pollster. Cross-analysis suggests that the shift was primarily driven by supporters of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). The fear is that these shifts in polling numbers are just the beginning. If the crisis is ignored, it is Taiwanese who will pay the price. Civil society must remain vigilant and come together to defend Taiwanese agency.
