<What must inevitably be is that Taiwan and China were one and will be one again, else China's progress on all spheres will be for naught.>
Huh? China has made progress having hired black and white cats and CDMA. What difference would Taiwan make on the certificate of title? If Taiwan remained forever offshore, I don't see how that would render the gains already made, enjoyed and re-invested of no effect. Hordes of people in China are vastly better off than 2 decades ago. None of that goes away because Taiwan stays separate.
I've mentioned the analogy of New Zealand with Australia several times. It was part of Oz, now it's not. So what? Nothing much changes. Except that Oz told NZers to get lost because swarms of Hong Kongese and Taiwanese were escaping those wonderlands, coming to NZ, becoming citizens, scoring the passport, then moving to Oz, which was the actual target. The dopey NZ government thought it was cool to get swarms of immigrants, who bled the taxpayers for education costs, benefits, free roads, free water [built by me] only to move on once the goal was achieved. Oz didn't want a bar of it.
I'd have allowed them in to NZ, selling passports immediately, by having say 10,000 new citizenships for sale per year, to the highest bidders [with no AIDS, criminal record etc]. Those citizenships would be a tradeable commodity, so that if they decide it's a dud place, or they simply want to move on, they could sell them on the open market, recovering their investment and even a profit.
Such a market would make politicians more careful about doing things which reduced the price.
Taiwan isn't part of China, it's irrelevant that it was part of some ancient Kingdom or Absolute Emperor's fiefdom. It won't negate progress China has made if it remains separate.
Not that it is remaining separate, because like NZ with Oz, investments, people and trade flows are increasing rapidly across the ditch.
