Personally I'd support a supermajority process, similar to a US constitutional change, started in both mainland China and Taiwan so they both have the same constitution.
Once that happens the merging of the countries could carefully proceed.
I'm not sure how you're going to get both population, subdivision, and political supermajorities for the same new constitution in both countries though.
- surfpel 2y agoHot take: China is rising. They’re clearly prioritizing the wellbeing of their people through infrastructure and social programs. They’ve also developed a reputation among the global south (as well as the majority of their neighbors, despite western media) as a benevolent “win-win” trading & investment partner. Given these developments, I think it’s possible that Taiwan will agree to some kind of “100 year transition” to full reunification in the future, once it becomes clear that they’re better off under PRC rule vs American occupation. They don’t even need the same constitution. Hong Kong has it’s own constitution. It’s not even a state, it’s literally just a city.
