Taiwanese Poll on Cross-Strait Relations


Big Eagle had shown a year ago that Taiwanese governmemnt has been taking polls on this subject by MAC for years and it is worthwhile to check its results from time to time to understand the public opinion on this topics. Here is the most recent result from MAC shown in Line Chart.

Mr. Yang Hsien Hong had an article on ETToday News and his offered his interpretation on these numbers:

"...這一連串的數字對台灣未來有一定的指引意義,台灣民眾不喜歡太過依賴中國,台灣民眾對未來呈現一種高度不確定感,台灣民眾對執政黨也不抱希望,台灣民眾更對中國有強烈排斥感,中國想用經濟誘引台灣民眾,台灣民眾戒慎恐懼,他們採取一種「停看聽」的態度。

高達67%的民眾主張「維持現狀」,卻不知什麼是「維持現狀」,所謂的「現狀」其實就是天天都在改變,民眾的「主張」等於是「慌張」。

陳水扁總統主政以來,在中國政策上的搖擺不定,實際上造成了現在這種高度不確定感的主因,他如果不能非常直接指出「四不一沒有」已經不存在,人民的不確定感會更深一層的跌落深淵。 "

Of course, you (dear readers) may have your own interpretation, let's hear from you, OK?

Good work, this post is informational. Indeed, the status quo only stays in one day. It is actually changing everyday.
