  13. Taiwan is politically divided by two major political factions just like in US, the opposition nationalist faction lead by the century-old Kuomintang (KMT) and the ruling liberal faction lead by the Democratic Progressive Party. There's a social divide within the Taiwanese society between people who aligns more toward reunification and normalization of relationship with China, and those who firmly advocate for independence. Discourse and argumentation about this matter within the Taiwanese society are actually pretty nuanced and while there are indeed a little more people who supported for independence, not all of them are uncritical of DPP' aggressive stance toward China and many are actually opposing any possible military conflict or even war. As matter of fact, KMT today is quite changed and different than they were back in the days. The ruling DPP faction firmly advocate for Taiwan independence and is willing to confront against the perceived threats from China' foreign policy by any means. But unlike DPP, KMT is aligned more toward China and advocating for reunification and normalization of relationship. KMT serves as counterbalance to DPP' aggressive policy against China which often results with harmful decisions to cut trade and economic cooperation with China (it's a fact that Taiwan always begin to provoke China first) and they hold an important position of maintaining and normalizing trade and economic cooperation with China. DPP is not so different than the Democrat or GOP, really.
