Thanks Crobato for the interesting article.
What interests me the most was the last quote on how China is trying to bribe Taiwan into unification. I don't so. I think China is just merging with Taiwan, unofficially. This will prepare the way for official merging.
Already China and Taiwan conduct significant amounts of business, Chinese Americans and Chinese residents in America conduct significant business with China, and lots of overseas Chinese from elsewhere conduct significant business with China. China is also building cultural and educational connections between all these non-mainland Chinese people. All of this is happening at a fast rate. China is unofficially bridging the gap between mainland China and non-mainland Chinese. Once Chinese people are practically reunited, Chinese leaders will officially unite Chinese people.
I am going off topic, but I just wanted to point that out.
