China should not invade. Taiwan should stop claiming all of China (and Mongolia) and China likewise should stop claiming Taiwan. My real hot take here: Taiwan's urban development is significantly better than China's. Taiwan doesn't do massive roads everywhere like the PRC does, and it has many cozy side streets with fine grain development as opposed to monolithic superblocks. Actually as I'm looking for evidence for this I'm forgetting just how cozy some Chinese cities can be, with plenty of fine grain development. I still think that Taiwan is better because it has less emphasis on c*rs but my earlier criticisms are feeling hollow now.
Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. This is bad city planning. You do not need 6-lane roads everywhere: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.1561585,113.0528951,473m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e2
And now for my opinion:
