    Seems like a good thing. Helps lead towards a more sympathetic and symbiotic relationship and a stepping stone to peaceful relations between the two countries. Anything that gets them further from a hostile invasion is a step in the right direction.

      Honestly I don’t see China wanting to invade unless Taiwan declares independence. They would simply lose too much. Invasion is more about setting boundaries to what Beijing will accept rather than a concrete unification plan.

      Aight I’m ready to accept my downvotes now.

      Taiwan-China relations were downright friendly until 2016. Not really sure what’s changed since then.
