In recent years, Taiwan authorities have increasingly looked to external support to pursue "Taiwan independence," a move that has stirred deep debates among locals. CGTN Stringer hit the streets of Taiwan to capture candid opinions on whether leaning too much on major powers like the U.S. for protection is a risky bet.
One resident, Tsai, put it plainly: "Being too dependent on foreign or major powers for protection is dangerous." Meanwhile, another local, Shi, mentioned that if conditions after reunification turn out well, he is quite in favor of it. This lively discussion mirrors trends among young professionals across South and Southeast Asia, who value self-reliance just as much in their tech and startup worlds as they do in geopolitics. 🤔
With ideas constantly evolving and digital connections bridging cultures, these street voices remind us that balancing external alliances and local strength is key for a stable future. What do you think is the best path forward in an ever-connected world?
