This is related to Taiwan's current general pro-Japanese environment. Taiwanese people choose to learn foreign languages. In addition to English, 70% of them choose to learn Japanese. In addition to the United States, most places to study abroad also choose Japan. They also tend to buy things made in Japan. Taiwanese generally have a favorable impression on Japan. Some people on the Internet said that when the Kuomintang went to Taiwan, most of the Japanese did not withdraw, but remained in Taiwan. After several generations of reproduction, one third of the Taiwanese people are more or less related to the Japanese by marriage. In fact, the real reason is not so.
Taiwan is not pro-Japanese in history. In the 50 years since Taiwan was ceded to Japan, pro-Japanese has never been the mainstream of Taiwanese folk.
This is also related to the fact that many Taiwanese still live in the fantasy of Japan.
They think Japan is still very powerful. However, Japan's military and economic strength are not at the same level as the mainland.
Japan's economy has stagnated for decades, and what Japanese people think about every day is the life of being content with the status quo and having few desires. Japan has changed since the Plaza Agreement was crippled by the United States. Japan's military power is also castrated very seriously, and can only develop self-defense capability.

I think this issue means that other allies of either side, such as Russia, the United States or South Korea, will not intervene.
What if they fight tomorrow? I doubt that no army will land in Chinese Mainland. Instead, China can drive straight in until the Chinese army raises the banner of victory over Tokyo and Taipei, China.
Japan and Taiwan, China are far less powerful than the Chinese army. Japan has 300000 active and reserve troops. Taiwan, China has 300000 active population and 1.7 million reserve population. Chinese Mainland has 2.5 million active servicemen and 3 million reserve soldiers. Although Japan has 30 million people enlisted and Taiwan, China has 6 million people, Chinese Mainland has an astonishing 500 million people, who can be fully deployed if necessary. Japan has 600 tanks, Taiwan, China has 2000 tanks, and Chinese Mainland has 9000 tanks. Only in terms of air force can they reach a close digital parity. Chinese Mainland has 2900 aircraft, Japan has 1500 aircraft, and Taiwan, China has 900 aircraft. But China has five generations of aircraft, which can defeat ten with one.
