This document analyzes Taiwan's upcoming 2024 presidential election by providing historical context on Taiwan's political parties and their stances on relations with China. It argues that a vote for Taiwan's Kuomintang party does not indicate support for unification with China, as there has never been widespread public support for unification. While the KMT once advocated for unification, it no longer officially supports that position. Additionally, a vote for Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party is not a vote for declaring formal independence from China, as the DPP also does not support immediate moves toward independence due to public and international considerations. The document aims to dispel misconceptions about what votes for the main political parties in Taiwan represent in regards to Taiwan
