In the investigation on cross-strait relations and relations with the United States, the latest public opinion survey in Taiwan shows that as many as 61% of the people in Taiwan believe that Taiwan should maintain the same distance from both the mainland and the United States, remain neutral, and not take sides. Compared to the previous results, more people have a pessimistic view of cross-strait relations, with the percentage of people worried about the mainland launching a war for unification rising to 49%, exceeding the 45% who are not worried. Previously, the percentage of people who were worried was 38%, while those who were not worried was 56%.
Additionally, the survey also shows that the level of suspicion toward Trump has risen again among the people in Taiwan. In the survey asking "whether they worry that Trump would sell out Taiwan," the percentage of people who worry increased from 45% to 49%. Meanwhile, 50% of the people believe that if a war breaks out between the two sides, the United States will not send troops to "defend" Taiwan. From the above survey results, it can be seen that balance is the mainstream public opinion, and there is still room for improvement in the stability of the Taiwan Strait relations.
