3.8% of Taiwanese want to declare independence, yet numbers of people in US who want their state to secede are in double digits in most states. Therefore, China should help them achieve that. Right?

Disclaimer I am not Hawaiian but yeah it looks like even if the descendants of immigrants from Asia have some Hawaiian blood they still identify as American. I did look at the demographic section of Wikipedia under Hawaii and saw that white and Asian identification was declining and PI/Native Hawaiian had climbed a percentage point each of the last two decades, so maybe something is happening positively. But there are a whole host of other questions you can ask about that. It looks like decolonization will be an arduous process for the real Hawaiians.

Either way, I hope to God the other island territories do not get caught in the trap that is statehood. They must go independent. Hawaii would be the best example for these territories that have statehood self determination movements of why statehood is a trap. Statehood is the opposite of decolonization.

In my experience the only people up here who would answer yes to a question like this are or types who think that without the federal government they would magically become feudal barons with vast riches

I can believe the independence claim from the First Nations especially with the 150 years of Indian Residential fake school Holocaust that is a predecessor to the Nazi Holocaust with the mass violance, savage indoctrination, torture tools like electric chairs that they now used in Afghanistan, rampart rape of underaged children, mass murder of children, forced labor, child labor, chiuld abuses, crimes against humanity, unethical human experimentations, reduction of children's name into experimental number, allowance wage thief, inheritance thief, and misuse of Native American fundings. The Western European diaspora condemn imagined atrocities by the Communists and the reign of terror by successful countries of color, but they disregard the evidences of racist holocaust by their own governments that had become well known since the Cold War.

They Western European diaspora believed in the lies by their Satanist (from the European Christian criteria) politicians like Stephen Harpers that the fake school holocaust against First Nation children were only "cultural genocide" that hides their hypocrisies, disorganized crimes by a few white adult slave drivers, and high quality "education" that has no relation with the savage indoctrination of the fake school survivors. Stephen Harpers in his fake Truth and Reconciliation even claim that some fake school survivors desire a return to the live in the Residential fake schools while hiding the fact that it is only because of the inability of the survivors to return to civilization after the savage upbringing in the fake schools as children. They also hide the fact that the European immigrant had promised high quality education, luxurious living conditions, and promise to make their children into elites of European immigrant society to gain the cooperation and funding from Indigenous parents for the enslavement and murder of their children. The Western European immigrants are now lying that reparation and the fruit of your labor are "free money" to you, that racial equity and freedom of relocation are "special privilege", and that basic citizenship, basic human rights, and property ownership rights are "special status" in their effort to claim that everything that all European immigrants take for granted will spoiled Indigenous people.

Doubt it. Most are white Republican settlers

I think we can grant you a say around tomorrow morning.

With that much separatism America wouldn't recover from a second civil war.

I had a hunch that the recent situation with Texas disobeying the federal government and involving the Texan national guard was very under reported for how bad the situation seems for America This kind of confirm my intuition.

They'd do it to provoke a war on behalf of the USA of course. The media would tell them to "want to".

The reason so many people in Taiwan Province want to maintain the status quo is because they get de facto independence while enjoying preferential treatment in China for both people and exports. It's like the Australia-New Zealand relationship except non-reciprocol on Taiwan Province's part.

That, and they don't have to put their lives and livelihoods on the line dealing with a potential forceful reunification.

Useful context to OP to be honest. The question should have compared to the number of people in Taiwan that would like to be unified with China to be a more fair comparison

Sarah Palin husband was in some Alaska independence party
