I would be scared of annexation if I were a Taiwanese citizen. Heavy-handed states (including China) have not been kind to dissenters.

Taiwan may get "Putin-ed", step 1 cause citizen outrage, step 2 citizens revolt against their corrupt government step 3 China moves in to help stabilize the country without a government.

There is another scenario: 1 cause citizen outrage, step 2 government successfully ignores outrage/beats protesters/tells lies to general public step 3 you're Putin-ed still.
