Lol, what are you even talking about? Since 20 years the opinion polls are clear: The majority of the people living in Taiwan consider themselves Taiwanese. There is a somewhat large minority that considers themselves both Taiwanese and Chinese, but when asked to choose between the two the people of Taiwan overwhelmingly (like 90%) prefer to call themselves Taiwanese.
Edit: but it looks like I am replying to a fresh Tankie sockpuppet account, so I guess no need to bother 🤦
They’re just referring to the martial law and white terror period that existed on the island for almost 4 decades. But it’s been almost as long since than it lasted.
It’s a pretty important period for Taiwan, but interestingly enough this shows that the people of Taiwan today are less inclined to maintain that stance despite that history.
However I wager that’s likely due to a rejection of association with the PRC than an identification with being Taiwanese alone.

People can have one opinion and still prefer to vote against it given the likely consequence of the imperialist neighbor attacking them 🤷

Threatening to attack and occupy their self-ruled neighbors is pretty much the textbook definition of imperialist 🤦

Funny how you first ignore Wikipedia when it doesn’t fit your propaganda story and now claim it as a source 😅
