Got a text from someone that has been interacting with some folks from Taiwan on an international trip. This was how they described the situation.

They are in their 60's and grew up in Taiwan and own an apartment in Taipei, returning often, both speak Mandarin. They said the Taiwanese do NOT fear China, that is the opinion of the US government.
