- Abstract
China is showing a uncompromising attitude towards the Taiwan problem. And there are more military exercises around the South China Sea. Professor of National Defense University People’s Liberation Army Zhang Zhaozhong thinks that China has shown the determination to unite the whole country [1]. The mainland Chinese’s attitude toward Taiwan Chinese is essential if the country is united, and the attitude will determine whether Taiwan people would be treated well. Data were collected on the website Zhihu, which was a application like “Quora” in China. The author analyzed the top 20 answers which receive most agreements of the question “Do most Mainland Chinese hold a aversion attitude toward Taiwan Chinese?” The result shows that due to the Taiwan people they met in person or on the internet, most Mainland Chinese showed a negative attitude toward Taiwan Chinese. Meanwhile, the answers show that the main reason is Taiwan Chinese’s hate and their negative attitude towards Mainland Chinese. And towards those Taiwan Chinese who recognize themselves as Chinese, Chinese people often hold a friendly attitude to them. Only when Taiwan Chinese accept their identity as Chinese, Chinese people would hold a positive attitude towards them.
