    China would invade if there was an official declaration of independence, since that is easily seen as the Taiwanese elite acting in their best interests. If there was a vote organized with China’s participation however, surely they would respect the outcome?

      The CCP doesn’t give a rip about public opinion. Exhibit A: Turning Hong Kong into a police state in response to street protests. China knows the poll numbers full well in Taiwan. And the elite have for a long time mainly been maintaining the fiction that the Taiwanese government still has a legitimate claim over China.

          You’re treating the people of Hong Kong like they have no ability to think for themselves.

            Most people want to have a peaceful live, not violent riots in the street every day.
