Since WWII, both sides of the conflict believed that Taiwan was part of China. Perhaps half the population of Taiwan believes that Taiwan ought to remain part of China, but without formal reunification until such time that the mainland becomes more supportive of political and economic freedom. What Chen and the DPP want to do is to rip apart that understanding. It's a recipe for needless war. Hope this helps.
Tell that to Beijing.
Actually a lot of the folks on the street would rail at that idea, too.
