That's not accurate. My understanding is the KMT agrees, and DDP doesn't (specifically: 1992 consensus), and the fact that the population opinion has been shifting towards independence is the primary tension currently.
At any rate, summing it up as "the RoC agrees" would seem to simplify a cultural argument along the lines of "the US agrees completely that guns are good".
> In response to Xi’s speech, Taiwan’s presidential office said most Taiwanese reject that model and argued that developments in Hong Kong show how “one country, two systems” can turn on a dime.
> On Sunday, at an event marking the same revolution, Tsai called on the Taiwanese people to renew their commitment “that the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China should not be subordinate to each other.
That’s only their official position and they can’t change it because that’s one of the PRC red lines. They consider Taiwan dropping their claim on the mainland as a change in the status quo and a casus belli. Everyone know the RoC doesn’t aspire to a reunited China anymore.

They just disagree on who should run the reunified nation.

Tsai has not made this one country position part of her administration, and her speech a couple of days ago made that even more explicit.
