China would invade if there was an official declaration of independence, since that is easily seen as the Taiwanese elite acting in their best interests. If there was a vote organized with China's participation however, surely they would respect the outcome?
The CCP doesn't give a rip about public opinion. Exhibit A: Turning Hong Kong into a police state in response to street protests. China knows the poll numbers full well in Taiwan. And the elite have for a long time mainly been maintaining the fiction that the Taiwanese government still has a legitimate claim over China.
If you cant see that HK riots were instigated by CIA then you are truly blind.
You're treating the people of Hong Kong like they have no ability to think for themselves.
Most people want to have a peaceful live, not violent riots in the street every day.
