About this table

Description	Taiwanese adults (wave 2, concrete condition, n=1,011) compared 5 pairs of hypothetical scenarios of Chinese aggression varying international military support (doing nothing/providing weapons/sending troops by the US and Japan), sanctions, economic and military strength, readiness, morale and party unity, choosing one (perceived victory).
