I suspect that outside of... 'mainland China' (I'll phrase it for clarity) and the island just off the coast of 'mainland China'; the rest of the world really just wants stability in the region and no further conflict. Generally the status quo is OK for the rest of the planet, and the other nations would be happy to call 'mainland China' China and the island off of that recognized as the sovereign nation of 'Taiwan' (or something else other than China, since the name's already taken by a larger military power).
I wonder what it would take to get that to stick until we grow up enough as a species to cease having countries and instead have a united single government like Star Trek.

This would require everyone to think very alike which we will never be. there's simply too much diversity. why not aim for more of a everyone have it their own way kind of model where more of the power is sent to local governments? this way there would be less conflict and more happy people, rather than only one way for everyone (one size does not fit all)
