Don't give up, which

1. Don't give up, which is so beautiful. Your choices are always revelatory.

2. Don't give up, which is what the enemy wants all of us to do.

I came across these two sentences by googling.

I have some questions of them.

Q1) In sentence 1, is "which" referring to "Don't give up"?

Q2) If Q1 is correct, is it grammatically possible to use "which" to refer to such a sentences as "don't give up"?

Q3) In sentence 2, I think that unlike in 1, "which" seems to refer to "give up", not "Don't give up", because if which refers to "Don't give up", sentence 2 doesn't make sense, because even the context I checked doesn't match the meaning of the sentence if "which" refers to "Don't give up".

So, I think in 2, "which" refers to "give up"

Q4) But if "which" refers to "give up", is it grammatically correct to use "which" to refer to a part of a sentence like in 2?
