It would be militarily tactically difficult to invade Taiwan, the crossing over the Taiwan Straight will not be easy accept in 2 months of the year, so nature is tacitly on the side of the people of Taiwan. Mainland Chinese (Communists) will doltishly and patronizingly say that Taiwan is a break-away province of China (meaning it will return to their fold under the auspices of the CCP). I see it this way: Taiwan has developed (on its own with little foreign influence) a democracy. Why not export this idea to the whole of China? It has happened before under the Song dynasty at least, where more than politically; China nearly underwent a home grown industrial revolution 500 years before it next appeared in late eighteenth century Britain? Why is it so hard for the Chinese to give up emperor worship (read Mao Zedong)?

@LeeSkJohn-sv8wi Mr Lee, I wish your statement that "Chinese will not kill other Chinese", but this is historically wrong. Particularly wrong for the Chinese killing each other (forced starvation and massive state driven uprooting and dislocation of populations too; people die far from home). This happened under Mao Zedong, called the Great Leap Forward campaign. Read about it. I wish it was no so, I'm a humanitarian and I hate politically driven programs (usually orchestrated from the top) that exterminate masses of usually innocent people anywhere and any time on Earth. In China this went back historically to the Three Kingdoms civil war (break up of the Han Empire) in the 2nd to 3rd century BC that killed and enslaved about half the population the core Chinese lands as a whole! Chinese against Chinese.

@LeeSkJohn-sv8wi Dear Mr Lee, although outright invasion of mainland China was contemplated by the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan in the 1950s and 1960s (successors of the Kuomintang), such a military venture would be impossible these days. But mainland China has changed in the past 70 years, especially the last 30. Emboldened by the original Nixon-Kissenger hand of peace in the 1970s, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) got a reprieve and steadily, stealthily and deliberately built up an armoury, firstly of defence and now of offence. Not all this armoury is just missiles, ships, tanks and planes (although the mainland has plenty of those), but propaganda, cyber attacks and bullying, and fairly recently Potemkin Village projects mainly in the third world (One Belt One Road) which is designed to whet the appetite of the foolhardy and avaricious in other third world countries (and corrupt European countries like Greece and Italy) whilst simultaneously plunging them into debt to the CCP that makes the World Bank look like a Fairy Godmother. This global expansionist and imperialist strategy has so far gone well, except things are starting to fall apart for the CCP at home. Civil disobedience (meaning dislike and rebelliousness to a dictatorship) in Hong Kong has gone 6 months now and in mainland China the economy has started to retract (meaning recession) partly due to Trump's tariff policies but also due to increasing mistrust of the CCP's showcase corporations, for instance, Huawei and ZTE. Don't you know that telecommunications is the most effective way of spying? All this malevolence is directional; it's aimed at democratic countries because totalitarian tyrannical government (e.g CCP) cannot abide a possibility that its citizens could be aware of something better than hideous political oppression purely for the sake of remaining in power. This is where Taiwan steps in, when the upcoming civil war on the mainland is in full flush. Terrible though a war would be, Taiwan can offer a model of democracy that is uniquely Chinese (it evolved by the hands and brains of Taiwanese and Chinese people, not just some foreign graft). It can open a dialogue for the Federation of all the provinces of mainland China with a properly elected legislature, independent law courts and firm human rights (written into a constitution). All this possibility can only come about with excruciating changes (as the ones with power lash out indiscriminately at everyone else), and there will be politically weak retrograde steps. Believe it is eventually possible, and work hard on it, and you might get there.

Fire paint ball projectiles at Mainlander Chinese Tourists who are defacing posters (criticizing or protesting against free speech or supporting human rights). Have a go at these louts whatever age they are. Mao Zedong was a total shit, to Chinese people in particular. I wouldn't have a crap onto his portrait; the shit is too clean for him. Incidentally, no scripture classes in Hebrew or any other language for "biblical reasons.", this is old fashioned proselytizing for another theological mental disorder.
