If you seriously think millions of Taiwanese think this of America I would love to see your reaction when you travel there. Ohio, the Mojave, Alaska. Insulting on a whole new level, really.
Whether intentionally or not, I think you are misreading the parent comment.
They never claimed that this is how the Taiwanese population views the US now. They are claiming that this is how they are very likely to start viewing the US when/if CCP starts marching towards Taiwan. Those two statements are very different.
I also think violent takeover is a remote hypothetical but that's another discussion.
I fully agree with the violent takeover being a remote hypothetical though.
Why is Alaska "insulting"?
Note: I live there, and it's awesome.
Ohio is also a perfectly fine place to live.
I'd be grateful.
You?
If you wanted to persuade a group of people to immigrate to the US, you'd mention Ohio and the Mojave desert first? Those are not "premier" locations regardless of how you or I feel about them personally.
"Not a widely shared preference" and "insult" are two different things, entirely.
"Anchorage has the most ethnically diverse schools in the United States, including the three most diverse high schools, the three most diverse middle schools, and the 19 most diverse elementary schools. Even the least diverse schools in Anchorage rank in the top 1% nationally."

As for Ohio, over 11 million people like it well enough to live there. Again, it's not an "insult" to suggest that someone else might like it. Especially if their alternative is PRC.
