#2> The source declined to say exactly how many Taiwan officials were asked to sign the paper but said its acting chief, Kao Ming-tsun, had returned to the island late on Thursday after he refused to sign the document upon his visa renewal.
Good on Kao.

#3Tiawan should reciprocate with the reverse, no visas to CCP or citizens of China unless this douchebaggery is quashed.
Also, all Chinese should be immediately banned from receiving any chips from TSMC.
Cut them off at the knees.

#6There is a reason why these types of governments overtime descend into chaos. It's not the exception it is the rules. The western world is just getting a refresher course on what that looks like.

#7The one-China policy is explicitly designed to be ambiguous about who controls this China, which lets the PRC pretend they control Taiwan and Taiwan pretend they control the mainland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-China_policy
So on the face of it, being asked to agree to this should not be objectionable to a Taiwanese official. Is the content of the doc they're being asked to sign available anywhere? Because it sounds like the devil is in the details here.

Dictatorships never accept getting over anything.

I only know about the One China policy from Wikipedia, but it seems like there's disagreement among the political parties of Taiwan about if they want to keep it. If I was an official, I wouldn't want to have signed a declaration that agrees to China's position unless it matched the official position of Taiwan.

Foreign policy is weird, countries don't give up on even trivial disputes without some concessions. Even seemingly trivial matters can be used for later negotiations. See the current list of US/Canada territorial disputes for an example notably Machias island.
