I see no evidence that they deliberately baited the ambulance? Bad coordination is the most likely explanation.
To be clear, even in that case it’s still a war crime to shoot an ambulance.

If you can’t see pedestrians on the road (on time) you’re either driving too fast, or you’re not paying enough attention, or you’re driving a car that is not suited for roads with pedestrians. That’s totally on the driver.
Leaving that aside, what do you think causes the increase? Dark clothes getting more popular…? I believe it’s the rising popularity of bigger cars with bad visibility (and maybe also the increase of phone usage while driving).
No, reunification isn’t the status quo, that’s ending the status quo.
Xijinping saying mainland China and Taiwan will reunite basically means he wants to invade Taiwan. That is newsworthy.
At this time is history reunification means joining the PRC, there’s no question about that. And support for that is very low in Taiwan.
The reason they don’t say that in official statements and prefer the status quo is because they are afraid of war.
I don’t know anything about a “constitutional vow”.
They are named the Republic of China and claim all (or most?) of mainland China in the claimed territories, (but where those are defined I can’t find):, I suppose it’s not really wrong to call that wanting to be a part of China.
Also in the amendments they talk about the free area and the mainland area https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=A0000002
Of course it’s a very misleading claim because if they would claim anything else they risk war with the PRC.
All the discussion I’ve seen is also about independence vs the status quo, not independence vs joining the PRC. That’s not really on the table.
Yes someone gave the green light, someone shot at them. Nowhere it’s said those were the same people, nor that the people giving green light knew that the other people were going to shoot.
The most likely thing is that they forgot to inform one group of soldiers, or that they misunderstood, or some other fatal miscommunication. Miscommunication is common in war. Deliberately baiting an ambulance is both extremely evil and stupid.
