Who needs a war? Taiwan and China will eventually merge without a murmur. More like Germany did than Vietnam.

Nah. While Mainland Chinese people might want to be governed by Taipei and become free and prosperous, Chairman Xi and his cronies won’t give up their death grip on the golden goose that makes every one of their family members billionaires.

And of course the other way around is even sillier. Taiwanese are as likely to join the poverty-stricken and oppressive Xi regime as South Korea joining the rule of Kim song un.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or exacerbate the conflict, the deaths from both sides in Taiwan and China could create hate that might just lead to a eight-year-long civil war like the Syrian Civil War with no end in sight.

Probably not. There's a straight between the two sides here. They aren't right next to each other like in Syria.

There's a strait between Northern Ireland and the British mainland. It doesn't take very many people to cause destabilizing acts of terror.
