Mainland Chinese favour diplomacy over force on Taiwan, poll suggests

Original: Mainland Chinese favour diplomacy to achieve Taiwan reunification with caveats

Most people in mainland China prefer diplomatic means to achieve reunification with Taiwan, though their support comes with conditions, according to a South China Morning Post report. The finding suggests public opinion on the island's future is not uniformly hawkish, with respondents favouring negotiation while still attaching caveats about how and when unification should happen.

Why now: Cross-strait tensions remain a live international concern, so evidence of mainstream Chinese public preference for diplomacy is drawing attention.
