Views of the U. Around seven-in-ten or more hold favorable attitudes toward the U. Australians offer more tempered views, though half still hold the U. More in India and Indonesia have favorable than unfavorable assessments, though sizable portions do not offer an opinion. How different age groups in Taiwan view China stands contrary to patterns elsewhere in Asia. While those ages 50 and older are more likely to see China favorably, the opposite is true in Australia, Indonesia and Japan. In these other Asian-Pacific environs, older adults are less likely to see China favorably.
In Taiwan, this difference among young people is 43 percentage points. Seventy years after the end of the Chinese Civil War, about two-thirds of adults in Taiwan identify as just Taiwanese. The question asks respondents whether they consider themselves Taiwanese, Chinese or both.
These findings are consistent with other polls showing that people in Taiwan increasingly identify only as Taiwanese as opposed to both Taiwanese and Chinese or solely Chinese. Adults in Taiwan across all age groups are likely to see themselves as Taiwanese.
At least six-in-ten in each group claim a Taiwanese identity, while no more than about a third hold a mixed or solely Chinese identity. Still, those ages 18 to 29 are more than 20 percentage points more likely than those 50 and older to see themselves as Taiwanese. They are also less than half as likely than the oldest age group to see themselves as both Taiwanese and Chinese. National identity is additionally split across political affiliation. Those who feel closest to the DPP are most likely to see themselves as Taiwanese.
Roughly two-thirds of the politically unaffiliated — those who do not feel close to any party — are also most likely to identify as just Taiwanese, while about three-in-ten consider themselves both Taiwanese and Chinese. Still, about a third of this group identifies as only Taiwanese. No more than about one-in-ten in each political group see themselves as only Chinese.

Taiwan broke away from the mainland as communists seized power in Analysts have warned that Beijing is becoming increasingly concerned that Taiwan's government is moving the island towards a formal declaration of independence and wants to deter its President Tsai Ing-wen from taking any steps in that direction.
A number of Western allies of Taiwan have expressed concern at China's open display of military might recently. Mr Biden appeared to be referring to Washington's longstanding "one China" policy under which it recognises China rather than Taiwan. However, this agreement also allows Washington to maintains a "robust unofficial" relationship with Taiwan. The "One China" policy, which Mr Biden and Mr Xi are believed to have referred to, is a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations but is distinct from the One China principle, whereby China insists Taiwan is an inalienable part of one China to be reunified one day.
We agree Despite the heightened tensions, relations between China and Taiwan have not deteriorated to levels last seen in when China tried to disrupt presidential elections with missile tests and the US dispatched aircraft carriers to the region to dissuade them.
At one level you might expect Taiwan's defence minister to be sounding the alarm like this, speaking at a hearing into whether military spending should be increased. However, he is not alone in warning that tensions between Taiwan and mainland China have been increasing quite seriously.
