I am now convinced china doesn't care about taiwan. The just make a show of fussing over it so america causes problems there where they can keep it isolated
I wouldn't say they don't care. Even if you look at it strictly materially China taking back Taiwan would mean they control a huge chunk of the world's chip supply.
Also it has high strategic value presumably, having a whole ass island full of hostile military is probably very uncomfortable for them.

I wonder if china doesn't have more control there than we think.
It would fit china's history to just let the US build a military base there and then just keep it when the US gets bored
