After the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, tensions between the Taiwan Straits were detonated. According to an online poll, after Pelosi reiterated the United States’ determination to safeguard Taiwan’s democracy, 62.0% of the public believed that they were “completely unconfident”, and 40.9% of the public believed that the current Taiwan-Strait relations were “very unsafe.” Netizens bluntly said that the number 62.0 is the most terrifying, because it represents that the people have no confidence in the United States and the Tsai government.
“YAHOO Qimo” launched an online poll on the effect of Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan on the 3rd. As of 8:00 this morning, 19,500 people have participated in the vote. “Pelosi reiterated the determination of the United States to safeguard Taiwan’s democracy. What is your opinion on the United States’ assistance in defending Taiwan?” The results showed that 62.0% were not at all confident, 16.4% were not very confident, 10.1% were somewhat confident, and 9.1 were very confident. %, don’t know/no opinion 2.4%.

This result sparked heated discussions, with netizens pouring into “Zhongshi News” and “Yahoo Qimo News” to leave messages: “62.0% have no confidence in the United States at all! It’s terrible! This means that the people do not believe in the United States and the Tsai government at all”, “The people have already seen through the tricks that the US and the Tsai government are playing. They are so hysterical all day long that they will kill the little people.” Hahaha! It doesn’t matter! It’s good that Taiwan’s people support Xiaoying and the DPP”, “The diehards are still diehards.”
