To what extent does what ordinary Japanese people want matter? In the real world, doesn't the occupying power call the shots? Isn't there a risk that the occupying power might choose to defend Taiwan from the PRC down to the last Japanese, as they are doing with Russia in Ukraine?

Thanks for your detailed analysis of the survey results. Attitudes may change when the impact of the cost of the government's plans works its way into people's wallets.

Thanks, but got lost in the numbers. It's not entirely cleat if the bullet points refer to the 2018 or 2022 survey?

My apologies. The bullets are the 2018 numbers. Probably needed to make some charts.
