No, no you don't, not any more than any other east Asian/south east Asian country would be affected by social turmoil and unrest in China. The effect a collapsing Chinese government and economic instability in China would have on you and your family would be significantly less than it would on the people on the mainland. Your skin and blood is a carrier group and a strait removed from the game.
Break down polls far enough, and you can get into the single digits. By then, you can have 100% approval or disapproval rates! Wow!Do the international polls breakdown into regions or ethnic groups? What are the poll numbers like in Tibet? In Xinjiang? In Hong Kong? Macau?
Polls are only meaningful if you take them in the greater context. There are always segments of a population which are more or less supportive of a particular government or policy; this is true in every country. Or, to put it in U.S. terms, if Pres. Obama has a 70% approval rating, that means he is doing a pretty damn good job, even if he only has a 20% approval rating amongst Republicans.
PS: Just as a FYI, polls in Hong Kong and Macau ARE way higher in favor of the PRC government than U.S. citizens, say, for our Congress.
Sure. And those of us who actually have BEEN TO and have family in China have the right to tell you that you have no f*cking clue what you're talking aboutIf the PRC thinks it can tell Taiwan what it should or should not be, then I, as a ROC Citizen, has the right to tell the PRC what it should go do with itself.
PS: And we'd react the same way if a PRC national who never went to Taiwan hopped on this board and started talking about how unstable Taiwan's democracy was and how uncivilized and violent its lawmakers are, how that's proof that the Taiwanese people need to 'rise up and reform their govt', etc. etc.
