I took it as assumed background information, and it was implied by the fact that the nationalist government was moving into a one-state solution with the free trade deals. However only the now-deposed nationalist party in Taiwan held a one China policy. The current government is pro-independence (which isn’t quite the same thing as two Chinas). They don’t lean towards independence, they ARE the independence party. They pretty much let themselves be fully defined by their stance on this one single issue. And it’s a dangerous stance to take given that all it does is provoke an aggressor while simultaneously giving up justifications for allies to come to its aid.
