Well, it makes sense that China and Taiwan would reunite. Back in the day, the bad blood between the Taiwanese and the mainlanders, very often cousins as in the USA civil war, was so bad that each side woould treat roughly anyone who traded with the other side. For this reason, USA businessmen were allowed to carry two USA passports, one for Taiwan visas, another for Chinese visas.
One time long ago a young woman in China rudely asked me directly if I traded with Taiwan. Yes, I answered. As she drew in her breath begin a long criticism of me, I cut her off with "Taiwan is part of China." She paused. "Chairman Mao welcomed Americans to trade with China." She continued her pause. "Taiwan and China are one country." (Both Taipei and Peking agreed on this point). She began to smile, and said to me, "Your politics are very good..."
Happily China and Taiwan are pursuing business over politics, and as usual, peace is breaking out.
