At some point, if they become economically and culturally integrated enough, will it cease to be particularly relevant whether they unite under one government? For example of how that could look, see Canada and the USA as an example of neighbors who were rent apart by war, then grew together after a century or two, to the point that they act almost like a unified economic and political bloc on the world stage. Sure, Canada might occasionally defy the US on the world stage, but what real upside would there be to an invasion and annexation?
I'm not sure if the status quo is continuable forever as far as Taiwan goes. Thatbbeint said, I think China will be patient, unless the west pushes for independence which will force china's hand
