I still hope we can convince the Taiwanese people it's in their own interest to have a peaceful reunification. It's been hard due to US/JP/DPP brainwashing but Pelosi's trip made it easier in my opinion. Not valuing your personal safety and using the entire country as a prop for a PR stunt doesn't exactly create reassurance about "US assistance." If anything, American recklessness may actively endanger your own life in Taiwan. If not reunification through a public referendum, then perhaps it may be done bloodlessly by someone within the ROC military.
China should convince the ROC military brass that it cannot win the war and that it would be better for them to capture Tsai Ing-wen similar to the "Xi'an incident" with Chang Kai-Shek. Ideally, it would coincide with a PLA mock invasion exercise, where Taiwan's eyes and ears are focused outwards. Upon securing her, issue a nationwide broadcast about Taiwan's surrender to the PLA.
Then again, perhaps that's what Taiwan has been afraid of and prepared for this. It would explain why Taiwan's military has become so pathetic if its military leadership has been replaced by DPP fanatics and not people with actual competence.
