    I’m not putting words in your mouth, that’s what you said in your comment:

    Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It’s just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split.

    No evidence the TPP wants to fight to keep their freedom? From the article you linked:

    China_ must know that it will have to pay a high price if it invades, said Ko.

    And I already posted this from your article but here again:

    The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

    China is the one threatening with an invasion, but it’s the fault of the westerners?

    Also: why so aggressive? Isn’t that a bit too western for you?

    Engaging with China is a really broad thing to say, from the article that you posted about the TPP:

    “Taiwan’s relationship with China is based on two principles: Deterrence and communication,” said Ko Wen-je from the TPP People’s Party in Taipei on Friday.

    …

    The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

    You said the TPP is pro-china, like the KMT, but to me it doesn’t read like that at all. China wants reunification, the TPP is highly against that and is willing to fight for their freedom.
