As much as i think taiwan is part of china, I don't think the majority of people in taiwan want reunification. You got a source or is this bs?

The desire for Taiwanese independence has experienced a significant drop over the past three years, with only 25.3% of people who want to “move toward independence” or seeking “independence as soon as possible” - down from nearly one-third - 32.4% - in 2020.

The largest opinion in Taiwan is "status quo," both independence and full reunification are minority opinions.

If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don't think in terms of "one China policy" (like the post's title implies) but rather in terms of "unification", as you wrote.
