-China full steams ahead, but even the US doesn't have the balls to go against its party favors supplier.
-China backs off. This becomes (is?) a cycle--every few years, China insults Taiwan's manhood, and every few years, Taiwan tells China to shove it.
-China backs off and everyone gets along in harmony forevermore (except the US, which can't seem to quit collapsing mideast regimes for some reason.)meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

Taiwan rattles their cage every fews years and CHina yells shut up or I'll beat ya some more. Neither side seems to really mean it. It's just how they say "I love you," to each other.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Someone here mentioned Taiwan wasn't a democracy. Myself being ignorant on the issue, could you please explain why this is so?"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

Taiwan is certainly more deomcratic than China.
If they want to decalre independence I can't see what it has to do with ChinaSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

There's so much trade between the two nations that if one or the other actually did something to upset the status quo, both economies would take a serious blow.
So let's compare them to a husband and wife who argue all the time, but don't want to let go of the fantastic sex life that nobody else knows about."lol internet" ~ AAHZComment

Hmm ... I suppose in the worst case scenario, Taiwan and China could take on the roles of Chechnya and Russia, respectively. And we all know what that's led to.
