I used to live in Taiwan. Most of the Taiwanese I knew believed the American press stated the truth because America has a "free press." when I would show them data that completely contradicted the American press, they changed the subject.
After I left, at the start of the Ukraine war, some of them wrote me about how excited they were that Ukraine was winning (the American press said so). They felt that meant they could win against China. When I pointed out that Ukraine wasn't winning and wouldn't win, they quit communicating with me.
If the Ukraine war ends with a decisive victory for Russia, that will be the best case scenario for Taiwan.
