      still pretty high, really. China has time on its side and continues to pursue integration via economic and infrastructure agreements

            The US has the highest private and the highest public per capita healthcare expenditure in the world.

            The healthcare, however, is shit. For much of the same reasons the F-35 is shit.

      Unification? Almost impossible. Integration? Almost definitely. The DPP can't change the fact that economic integration is going to happen whether they like it or not. Taiwan is, by geography, always going to be economically tied to China.

      China's goal is simply to avoid a Cuban Missile Crisis in Taiwan. That's it. They're happy to cooperate with the KMT on integration without unification. They were perfectly happy with the status quo of the Taiwan Strait being Chinese territorial waters (with two interpretations...).

        also the KMT have consistently made efforts to avoid an escalation like that with China. They don't want to be in the middle of a proxy war because they don't want their home to become a battlefield
