A pro-independence poll shows 22% of Taiwanese people are willing to accept peaceful reunification; Huang Wei-han says 4.5 million votes could reshape the electoral landscape.

The Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore wrote tonight (May 1): "A recent public opinion survey conducted by Taiwan's pro-green media shows that 22% of Taiwanese people are willing to accept 'peaceful reunification under the one country, two systems framework' and the absence of war across the strait. Huang Wei-han, a Taiwanese media personality, said this 22% equates to 4.5 million voters—'enough to swing an election.'

[Smart] Commenting briefly: Moreover, nearly 30% among those aged 20–29 support it—something the DPP cannot stop. This poll, produced by the pro-green media outlet Formosa, precisely tears away the curtain concealing the false consensus of 'resisting China to protect Taiwan' within the island. When 'peace' and 'avoiding war' become prerequisites, over 20% of the populace are ready to pragmatically consider unification—delivering a direct slap in the face to politicians who incite hatred. Huang Wei-han’s point about 4.5 million votes being enough to reverse outcomes further exposes the fragility of the green camp’s long-term brainwashing. The so-called 'absolute rejection of unification' simply collapses under the shadow of war. Once people return from ideological frenzy to survival instinct, these more than 20% become a hard lever capable of shifting election results and future direction.
