doubt it , after decades of soft and weak propagranda about peaceful reunification , mainland population (hell ...even military personal) right now just don't have enough blood thirsty will to agree and support the idea "take the island not the people"

I am sorry but do you read Chinese at all? The sentiment in the general population towards the Taiwanese population deteriorated significantly over the past decade. I might agree that some party leadership does not want to go that far but the same definitely cannot be said about the general public. The difference in sentiment can be large enough that sometimes the public fury needed to be suppressed, and we saw quite a few backfires on the leadership's part (i.e. Nancy Pelosi incident) as a result of that.

Recent revelations indicate Japan has successfully infiltrated the Philippine leadership, making the Philippines an unofficial ally of Japan. Should the ultra-right-wing Liberal Democratic Party secure over 300 seats as polls suggest, Japan is likely to deepen its infiltration of Taiwan's leadership. China must not only strike back at Japan economically and guard against its nuclear strategy but also develop sufficient countermeasures against Japan's efforts to infiltrate Taiwan's high-level circles. The coming years will be the most tense and confrontational period in Sino-Japanese relations.
