Strongly agree

Yes, we must protect a democratic ally and the global semiconductor supply

Democrats often frame Taiwan in democracy/authoritarian terms and highlight strategic-economic stakes; the CHIPS and Science Act era focus on semiconductor supply chains aligns with this rationale, making this a strong fit with party messaging.

Agree

Yes

Mainstream Democrats generally support strengthening deterrence and have increasingly signaled willingness to defend Taiwan (e.g., Biden-era statements and expanded security cooperation), though the party is not uniformly committed to an explicit blank-check pledge.

Agree

Yes, but only with air and naval support, not ground troops

Democrats tend to prefer coalition-based, limited-footprint approaches and would be more comfortable with air/naval support than large ground deployments, consistent with emphasis on deterrence and avoiding a protracted land war.

Slightly agree

No, provide weapons and intelligence but do not send troops

Providing arms and intelligence aligns with long-standing policy under the Taiwan Relations Act and recent arms sales, but ‘do not send troops’ is more restrictive than the party’s current deterrence posture and would be debated within the party.

Slightly disagree

No, risking nuclear war with China is not worth the cost

Nuclear-escalation risk is a real concern Democrats acknowledge, but the party generally does not treat it as dispositive; it typically pairs risk management with deterrence rather than ruling out defense on that basis alone.

Disagree

No

A flat refusal to defend Taiwan conflicts with the party’s recent China policy emphasizing deterrence, alliance reassurance, and maintaining the Indo-Pacific status quo (e.g., Biden administration’s repeated emphasis on peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait).

Very strongly disagree

No, Taiwan is part of China and we should not interfere

Democrats reject Beijing’s claim that Taiwan is simply ‘part of China’ in a way that forecloses U.S. involvement; party policy supports the One China policy (not PRC sovereignty over Taiwan) and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo.
