> ... they're hopeful one day the ROC will peacefully join them if relations and trade are good enough. The stupid shit that China pulled in Hong Kong just a few years ago has pretty much put a nail into the coffin of that hope any time soon. All China had to do was keep to the "one country, two systems" approach in Hong Kong that had been working so well. But they couldn't even manage to do that, instead violating the agreement they themselves negotiated. So, it's pretty easy to see why the majority of Taiwanese want them fuck right off. ;)
