Just so that everyone is understanding...
Taiwan is an island of Christian Capitalists that were placed there as dissidents of the communist regime. They followed the exiled Empirer there....had elections and we had several decades of free trade with them.
Now they are a technology center manufacturing loads of semiconductor chips and extremely wealthy...they can just about buy mainland China. (Which is why the PRC wants them...the PRC is almost bankrupt with a junk bond/real estate situation that makes the USA's look like a "nothing" by comparison. )
So these people are used to their freedoms.
They are not kidding...they firmly believe that they should be allowed to live free or die.
