And how many such taiwanese do you know? How does kmt still get elected if taiwanese public are all brain washed like you say?
Have you ever been to hk and Taipei? If you have them how can you possibly make the argument hk is more like mainland than Taiwan?
I was born in Fujian and grow up in Hong Kong. I know more about Hong Kong, Taiwan, Taiwanese than you would think of. Hong Kongers might have been more westernized than Taiwanese but Taiwanese have been much more Japanized than Hong Kongers. Hong Kongers might have been brainwashed but many would still care enough to donate money to mainland China and consider themselves as Chinese except some youngsters. In the contrary, Taiwanese would only donate money to Japan but not to China and ridicule China when China offered helps to Taiwan.
In the late 90s and early 00s, there are still many Taiwanese who would support an eventual peaceful reunification. But that's the case anymore.
KMT is not what it used to be. KMT can't no longer advocate for peacefully reunification. Its members have been infiltrated by opportunists and pro-independents that disguised as neutral.
