    1. There is a faction of the KMT that supports reunification

    2. Indigenous people of taiwan prefers the mainlands ethnic policy

    3. Capitalists love bribes

    4. Just make the mainland so great that its dumb to be separate

    5. Afaik the mainland already allows Taiwanese citizens to live there. So you can just drain the population by being better

      Well that'd be neat but I feel like the ghouls always choose power and handing over your country doesn't help with that. But maybe in like 20 years the ROC's climate change response is bad enough that they need help from the PRC and unify that way. idk though I really do know nothing about this, it's just uncommon for borders to change peacefully.

        That might be true but I feel like a lot of people underestimate how short-sighted capitalists are historically. Lenin wasn't joking when he said the capitalists would sell you the rope to hang them with

          Yeah but unless they lose control of the military all it takes is the head of state to just kinda say no, i wanna keep it

            Sure, but if you fuck with that ecosystem even a little it can cause massive economy-grinding halts because of how hard it is to develop a high-tech semiconductor ecosystem. So just moving factories even will fuck with it and set the whole thing back decades. Which is why the west is nervous because Taiwan is the biggest exporter in the world

              ahhh so taiwan's biggest/most influential industry is pretty unstable. So the PRC exerting pressure on that somehow could weaken them alot. Actually Taiwan unifying on the condition that the tech executives keep private control seems like it might actually be a thing.

      Doesn't matter. If they try to do it peacefully, the world's peacekeeper will step in ;)

        Doesn't matter. China has US industry by the balls. Swift castration. US has even said multiple times it wouldn't intervene because of how by the balls China has the USA. A couple of congresspeople tried to do a Taiwan defense act but it gets squashed each time.

            US will just frame it as a win and somehow make it so that we get cheaper semiconductors out of it and we'll dust our mitts off and say that freedumb won again
