> China might be tougher recently but the this compromise was made years ago when China was weak and poor. In any way it’s a complicated 40+ years matter that has nothing to do with what China does recently. The PRC has been poor, but it's never been weak.

And this "compromise" was made when China was on the upswing and was beginning to have the ability to force the international isolation of Taiwan.
