Well at this rate. China does not need to do anything to win Taiwanese hearts and minds. The US is doing a good job at turning the Taiwanese against them. The US is making it really easy for the Taiwanese working class to pick China's side.
If a TSMC engineer decides to move to the mainland, i.e. the enemy. He gets paid well due to his status as a TSMC engineer. He gets special treatment in China as a Taiwanese compatriot. Most importantly, he and his family will be safe in mainland China.
If a TSMC engineer decides to move to the USA, i.e. Tsai's best friend. He will become a 2nd class employee, be cheated, and treated like a slave. Not only that. As soon as he comes home from work, he becomes the most hated immigrant in the US. His wife and children, risks becoming victims of Asian hate crimes.
Tsai and the DPP losing Taipei in the last local elections was a warning sign. More democrazy, freedumb and USA is becoming more and more counter-productive. The Taiwanese working class is slowly waking up to the fact that becoming a Taiwanese compatriot in the mainland is infinitely better than becoming a US slave.
