Survey Finds Majority of Taiwanese Blame CCP for Cross-Strait Tensions
A recent survey by Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council found that 52.3% of Taiwanese respondents blame the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for undermining peace across the Taiwan Strait, up from 47.4% in May. Meanwhile, 28.5% attribute responsibility to both Taiwan and China, and 6% hold Taiwan solely responsible. The increase in concern is linked to intensified Chinese coast guard patrols and maritime militia presence near Taiwan, alongside reported cases of alleged Chinese transnational repression targeting Taiwanese individuals.
