One more followup. Of course, the KMT soldiers that came over in 49 are dying off and no longer serving. I'm referring to their children, almost exclusively sons, who would be in positions of power now in the military as well as industry.

Go two generations down and all bets are off. But that first generation born in Taiwan most likely grew up in a very pro-China household, and the pro-China values of the KMT certainly were inherited by the military and preserved well into the 21st century, even to this day.
