That is simply impossible.
Full Autonomy or the status quo is the best that Taiwan can hope for without triggering a war. It is a case of give and take.
Even in a democracy we don't always get what we want. Heck, my party hasn't being in power for 4 terms.

The United States in not a dictatorship or communist country so no by my point of view it will not fall.
And Taiwan is a country it is buying it arms for defense only and it is not attacking China. The Insurgent want arms to cause trouble and kill innocent people. So your comparison is not correct.

Just as well, we'd be living in a Banana Republic by now. Seriously though look who the past leaders of your party have been, men of average intelligence at best.
Even now fatman Beazly doesn't stand a chance

Civies or troops?

Civies of course, I think the way they attack troops is cowardly but he beheading of civilians who have nothing to do with the decision of the war is barbaric and cowardly.
Well if your on offense to defend then isn't that defensive?
Do you really think they are going to spend millions and go through all that trouble, to hang it up in display? Nope they intend to use it.
IMO, the rest of the world should care more about what the U.S. thinks of it, not the other way around.
