Majorities of the population of both Taiwan and China both see the issue in a more nuanced manner than what you laid out here. You can go on and deride people

  Of course the situation is nuanced. But we're here to discuss territorial wars of aggression. Not to write a book on ages old cultural interactions. Taiwan and China are both separate sovereign states defacto. They have functioning governments and standing militaries. Any meaningful discussion about the issue has to start from there. Pretending the RoC military doesn't exist just because a bunch of people on the mainland feels like it doesn't actually change reality. If the PRC wants to change that reality then that means military action at this stage. One China quickly looks like woo woo bullshit when Chengdus start falling out of the sky and Taipei 101 gets hit with a cruise missile.

    China and Taiwan are separate states de facto, but at no point in their modern history has either outright rejected the one China policy. One can’t talk about the main political fault line inside of Taiwan as if it’s a settled matter.
