Taiwan: We don't need your help, USA

[Perknose]

I'm Chinese and I know for sure China will NEVER invade Taiwan even without the US interference. Because both are only too interested in making money off each other.

Exactly. And they are prepared to wait as long as necessary for the inevitable political absorption of Taiwan into China proper, along the lines of Hong Kong.

China has zero present plans or interest in the physical destruction of Taiwan, which they consider part of them anyway. They profit greatly from Taiwanese investment in the mainland.

The geopolitically ignorant right wingers here still think they're fighting some sort of 1950's - 1960's style military cold war, when the real balance of power in that region will be undergirded by geography (China wins) and economic might (again, China will win.)

That said, I have no love, ZERO, for the corrupt, outmoded clique of pseudo-communist apparatchiks who govern mainland Chins.

Just like the communist can't hold on to Cuba forever, simply by time and geography, Taiwan will eventually and peacefully be reabsorbed by the mainland.

Everyone (with half a brain, a modicum of geopolitical savvy, and not blinded by primitive, ignorant right wing political talking points) knows this.

Even the Taiwanese themselves know this will happen eventually. They are just fighting like hell to be in the strongest position of economic influence for the best possible terms.

From what I've gathered about China, I'd say this is definitely true. I think reunification in some sense is almost inevitable (and by that I mean in my lifetime). As the Communist Party in China finds it more and more expensive to maintain political control within their borders, I think they will have less and less interest in asserting political control as a precondition for economic union (or at least much more open trade) - as long as they can keep Taiwanese politics reasonably isolated from the mainland. I see an arrangement similar to that of Hong Kong as pretty likely in the next few decades.
