    There is/was a Taiwan ethnicity, you should read your history. Most Taiwanese are Han in origin, and speak Han mandarin.

    That said, a majority do not want to be governed by the PRC, and have not been governed by the PRC since the second world war.

      They shouldn’t have supported a fascist government and lived in fascism for over 40 years while fighting against the most popular revolution in world history if they didn’t want to be a part of the PRC. Maybe they shouldn’t have been losers and fascist fucks. Maybe they should’ve killed themselves instead of finishing the genocide of Taiwan started by Japan and then launching attacks on civilians for 40 years. Maybe they should’ve joined the revolution against the fascist leaders called the KMT, if they didn’t want to be swept up as fascists and honestly treated far better than they should’ve been.

          Ah yes, “enslaving” people living under a fascist regime. Also no ones invading anyone unless the US invades China like they did Korea and set up a permanent Military base under the guise of a country again.

      there are a few percent of indigenous people.

      I specifically mention the indigenous people.

      majority do not want to be governed by the PRC

      Correct, they want to maintain the status quo, which is the only sane option.

      have not been governed by the PRC since the second world war

      If that was true, they wouldn’t have had to do so much terror and genocide under Chang Kai Shek. But the dictatorship loosened 35 years ago.
