Most people in Taiwan do not consider them to be part of China.

Nonsense. Who told you that?

Most Taiwanese have an unfavorable view of China and a favorable view of the U.S.

Poor bastards. Thanks.

One is providing defensive weapons against the other that wants to snuff out the views of the majority on the island. There should be nothing surprising about that.

The majority of the people in Taiwan do not consider themselves to be part of the PRC and the indigenous Taiwanese certainly do not.

Have whatever qualms you want about the US but it is pretty clear that China is not wanted in Taiwan.
