China has more power, obviously, but most of their claims are purely cosmetic, since if they wanted to truly absorb Taiwan they can put a whole lot more pressure on Taiwan than 1) letting them open factories and conduct business in China 2) letting them visit and vacation in China 3) trade with China at all If you want an example of an actual embargo check out Iran, Cuba, for great examples of pointless aggression (from the US).
