Of course not. PRC is itself engaging in trade with Taiwan.

This is about handful of tiny countries who still maintain formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. For example United States is not formally recognizing Taiwan as a country.

It's entirely possible if Taiwan has an even more pro-democracy government than it has now.

I can imagine China can easily sacrifice the entire trade with Taiwan if the sensitive issues are concerned.
