Taiwan divided on US aid and threat level amid China tensions.

Taiwanese residents are divided on their concerns over the imminent threat of a Chinese invasion, but they are in apparent agreement in believing the U.S. will not come to their aid. The U.S. has made commitments to Taipei under the Taiwan Relations Act and warned the Chinese Communist Party about making any attempts to change the status quo in the region. However, some Taiwanese residents are looking at the U.S. response to the war in Ukraine, noting Washington’s refusal to deploy troops to Kyiv over concerns it would spark a third world war or prompt a nuclear response from Russia.
