Taiwan is not mostly indigenous. While only 15% of the population are Nationalist refugees and descendants, 83% are benshengren, or native Chinese. Only 1% to 2% are the the Taiwanese aborigines; the Amis, Atayal, Bunun, Paiwan. There is some intermarriage so the numbers are not precise.
I happen to support an independent Taiwan because it is not mainland China. If there can be two Koreas, which share a lot more, and the US and Canada can be independent, Taiwan and China can be separate nations.

No, no; that is splittist. You require re-education.
