You have an island governed by a democratically elected government, with a population that from what I remember mostly doesn't want to be assimilated into the PRC. The PRC taking it by force would, in my eyes, be rather imperialistic.
democratically elected? arguable and only for the last few decades at that. it was run as a brutal single party dictatorship backed by amerikkka until fairly recently. And last time i checked the vast majority of people in Taiwan want to maintain the status quo which is that Taiwan is part of China.
Now where is the shovel head maker, TSMC?
And then China popping their head out claiming Taiwan is part of China because they want to seize TSMC
has been part of china for 2000 years, anglo imperialism wont change that

Yeah, fuck the KMT. But as you have recognised, they aren't a dictatorship anymore.
And the status quo is that they are de facto a small independent island nation, that is de jure claiming mainland China.
