I'm all for throwing off the CCP influence and recognizing Taiwan, but none of us want to see Chinese people targeted because of their ethnicity.

Indeed. Not only is it tragic for the community, it promotes even greater government suppression. It's the sort of event that hands government a green light to take aggressive action.

Can you imagine if Taiwanese started targeting immigrant Chinese or China sympathizers? It would be horrible on the basic level of tribalism and common sense, but it would also be politically disastrous for Taiwan.
