China has always wanted to reabsorb Taiwan and Taiwan has always been opposed to

Technically, the mainland and Taiwan both claimed to have rightful rule over the other, although sentiment in Taiwan gradually changed to favor independence instead.

    I'd support Taiwan taking over China but that just seems very, very, very unlikely.

    But yeah, the way it's been handled is both sides willfully ignoring the fact they are two countries, which is an inherently unstable position.

    It'd be like if Puerto Rico claimed all of America it's own and America was very upset about that while also ignoring it.
