More Taiwanese against China: pollBy Chung Li-hua, Dennis Xie and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writersSeventy-three percent of Taiwanese do not consider the Chinese government a friend, a poll released on Tuesday by Academia Sinica showed — the highest figure since the poll started in 2012. The poll indicates that Taiwan is distancing itself from China, which is especially evident among the younger generation, researcher Wu Chieh-min (吳介民) said. Those who identify as both comprised 43 percent, the poll showed. Less than 30 percent of KMT supporters backed the protests, which garnered higher support from pan-green camp supporters, the poll found. The poll showed that Taiwanese support a free Hong Kong, as a majority of people agree with the mindset of “backing Hong Kong is supporting Taiwan,” Wu said.
