>what do you mean exactly? you meant reunification? i don't see how that could be a problem, we do business with China already, it would just become one of their state, you can still trade with them

I'm sorry what? A chinese invasion of Taiwan would be catastrophic for the global supply chain. It would require a force a few times bigger than the entire D-Day invasion, and there's no way the chip fabs wouldn't be smouldering ruins afterwards. The reason china hasn't already invaded is that it would have a nearly incalculable cost for very little benefit. Far better to rattle the sword for the nationalists every so often and trade your way to prosperity.

It's not in the US's interest for China and Taiwan to reunify, i could see the US sending weapons and missiles, as well as Britain and Israel sending their mercenaries and drones

But i don't think that's what most Taiwanese want, it would be a literal suicide, it's a small island, they see it as a political affair, not as a military one

The military view is what the western media want to push for some reasons

We seen it during the Pelosi visit btw, what's next? help elect a Zelensky bis? It failed with Abe, wind is blowing backward it seems
