PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency

There’s no question lol.
There is the danger that after overwhelmingly defeating the last recall, the pan-blues and independents get complacent and have low turnout thinking this is a done deal while the much better organized and motivated pan-greens turnout in large numbers.
I was wondering if this was happening too so I looked around in Taiwanese media today, it seems like pan-green people are complaining that after 726 recall they are receiving much more open hostility from people while they attempt to promote 823 with randoms just walking up to their volunteers and flipping them the finger, or taking their flyers and then throwing it in their face.
At the ground level it looks like people are encouraged by the 726 result and are standing up to pan-green more. I'm not sure how much effort pan-blue are mobilizing though, anyone?
That is what Lee Kwan Yiu said, a long time ago.
This is not new. This idea. Because strongman Lee himself said it.
All roads for Taiwan lead to China. They can take the difficult road and exhaust themselves arriving all tired. Or they can take the short road and arrive refreshed.
Something like that. Cannot remember the exact words now. It was that long ago. Lee Kwan Yiu was not even that old when he said.
So many world leaders seem like children compared someone like him from the past.
From the perspective of mainlanders, the Blue Camp is vulnerable, their political mobilization ability is only for self-defense. But when it comes to obtaining and distributing benefits, they will bite each other, otherwise they would not have lost to the DPP for so many years.
The White Camp has no historical burden that can be attacked by the DPP and is more pragmatic. But in the end, they are just marginal figures who are dissatisfied with the decadent blue camp and the stupid green camp. They do not have a slightly unified political program, and have not yet formed an independent force.
Now it is just Taiwanese society's resistance to the Green Camp's stupid and radical behavior, but if the Green Camp restrains itself a little, the Blue and White Camp still has no chance of winning.

This undersells how much a decade of governing incompetence has damaged the green brand. People in Taiwan feel like the DPP have made them a backward society. The entire domestic program has been a dud. The recall shenanigans has only cemented those sentiments but they didn’t start their. Lai didn’t win the majority and he didn’t get the legislature for a reason.
