Believe it or not, a lot of younger Taiwanese people want to rejoin the mainland. Not exactly a majority yet, but it's getting pretty close.
This is confusing. Liberalism isn't leftwing, it's right-of-center at best. Most often it's right-wing economic policies with socially left-wing ineffectual lip service. Especially with how far right the Democrats have trended since the 80s and their adoption of a corporate focused form of third-wayism. There are only a handful of representatives who could even be considered slightly left-of-center progressives.
I just buy refurbished or "New-Old-Stock" 2-year-old flagship phones off ebay for $100 or so bucks every other year.
There's an interesting academic book called Climate Leviathan that investigates four different ways in which the governments of the world might evolve into a single global government as the climate crisis intensifies. Interesting read, but it deals with topics like this.

It seems to be a part of the US propaganda machine. Lots of news like this is pushed by the state department during times of conflict and war. Like, during the cuban revolution the US literally abducted 30,000 cuban children and then accused cuba of killing infants. In the Iraq war they constantly pushed out stories that the iraq army were going into hospitals and ripping newborns out of incubators and smashing them of the floor. It's all to rile up the US in support of the proxy war.
