Up until little Chiang died in 1988, Taiwan was very much Republic of China. You had anti-Japanese heros like Sun Liren and Zhang Xueliang living there.
25 years after, there is nothing left of ROC identity. Now, Republic of Taiwan is ethnically Chinese, culturally Japanese and politically America's dog. Chinese should host no illusions. War is absolutely necessary to take back our beautiful Formosa island from Republic of Taiwan.
The Chinese Miracle was made in Taiwan
Taiwan is the most responsible for the "China Miracle."
For the last 35 years, Taiwan used its technology (e.g. 125,749 USPTO patents during the last 35 years), forex reserves, managerial know-how, customer base, industrial base, and logistics chain to transform China into a modern economy and technological powerhouse.
Think about it. From 1949 to 1978, China remained among the world's poorest nations.
What happened between 1978 and 2013 (in those 35 years)? Was it magic? No, it was Taiwan.

Taiwan remains the world's third-largest foreign holder of 125,749 USPTO patents
For 2012, Taiwan remains the world's third-largest cumulative foreign holder of 125,749 USPTO (ie. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) patents during the last 35 years. Essentially, Taiwan is out-innovating every other country on the planet except for the United States, Japan, and Germany. This would explain Taiwan's ever-increasing standard of living and foreign exchange reserves.
