Citizens of Taiwan probably didn't want to end up as Hong kongers. The whole "peaceful re-unification " thingy is never going to happen.......we're more likely to witness an all out war over any "peaceful shizz".

China pointing missiles at Taiwan also points in the other direction.

I don't think the people of Taiwan are as eager as you are to have an all out war with China. They will eventually decide to unite with their motherland, the time may not be ripe yet, but it is coming.

China Taiwan trade volume reaches record US$147 billion in 2011

Economic exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan saw progress in 2011, the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday.

Cross-strait trade volume in the first 11 months of 2011 reached a record high of 147 billion U.S. dollars, according to a statement issued by the office.

By the end of 2011, the mainland had invested a total of 220 million U.S. dollars in Taiwan, establishing 47 new business projects worth 68.19 million U.S. dollars in 2011.

From January to November 2011, the mainland approved 2,376 Taiwan-funded business projects and put 1.95 billion U.S. dollars in Taiwanese investment into use, it said.

By the end of 2011, 41 cities on the Chinese mainland and nine cities in Taiwan had implemented cross-strait direct flights, including 558 passenger flights and 56 cargo flights every week.

The Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) signed by the two sides in June 2010 has been effectively implemented, bringing multiple benefits to Taiwan's enterprises and people, the office said.

In 2011, Chinese mainland authorities allowed five Taiwanese commercial banks to set up branches on the mainland and approved three Taiwanese companies to be listed on the mainland's stock market. The mainland also allowed six Taiwanese financial organizations to invest in the mainland's capital market.

The missiles are there, but that is not the whole picture. There are many positive developments or else the people of Taiwan would not elect a pro-Chinese President. Have you thought about that?

We do point missiles to India，Japan，US，Russia，UK，France....Taiwan is merely in the range.
Technically Chinese civil war has not ended yet，so both sides has the right to point missiles to each other.
But we will eventually achieve a peaceful unification.

They've been talking about it for 20 years. It's just an internal political show. It won't come to anything.

I ain't too optimistic about it to be honest... KMT government claims 3 of our states compared to the 2 that CCP used to and still is...

That's not because of a lack of technology... it is because of the red tapism that slows our defense production to a crawling rate.

Hold onto your horses, mate. Let us make for ourselves first.

You forgot France and Germany are more independent than UK or rest of Europe. Add Sweden to the list. I rule out Russia since KMT has been always more west oriented.
