Please choose one.

The majority of the Taiwanese people voted for Tsai Ing-wen of the DPP, a party that defends Taiwan's independence from China, so the Taiwanese people choose the second option. How can they be independent from China if they are the true China? What's the logic of it?

Also how does majority of people voting for it make it legitimate? Traditionally the source of legitimacy in China has been the Mandate of Heaven, so shouldn't the emperor decide?
