I remember my mind being blown when I read about internal Taiwanese politics and learned that both parties are more or less anti-independence.

The liberals / doves think it would provoke China, and be too high a price to pay for something that's already de facto truth.

But the conservatives / hawks argue against it because they deny the legitimacy of the PRC, so why would Taiwan need to declare it's independence from rebels in its own country?

This does not make them anti-independence, just not suicidal.
