China doesn't want war. Taiwan should retain it's unofficial independent status and pretend it's part of China. Everyone is happy that way.

China has new management and it wants control of all its assets.
You bet they are going to repatriate Taiwan.

I'm very much against pursuing this political lunacy, both by the Chinese and Taiwenese governments. It would threaten so much of the expected economic, scientific, and technological progress to come if a conflict broke out. A pragmatic approach is required.

The emphasis on math in some asian countries is paying off. That whole region may power much of the world's progress in this century.
