Billy, Taiwan is a separate country. You don't need it. If Taiwan disappeared from the face of the earth, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to China. The only reason Mao wanted Taiwan is because they were getting wealthy and living well when China was starving under communism. It made him look bad. Now China has moved toward socialism and developed a trade policy that will increase wealth and the standard of living for its' people. If China keeps that direction and opens up opportunities for more individual freedom then there's a possibility that it would become attractive to Taiwan to rejoin China. If you want them back then make it worth their while.
