The problem is I do not think that is thier view, it should be but I do not think it is at least not for critical players. They won't see hundreds of millions living on less than a dollar a day they see 1 trillion in hard currency reserves, other nations ambitions, and thier own ambitions to remain in and climb through the pecking order. it is the nature of politics to look outward for a cause celeb to use like a woman uses make up to cover up blemishes. Everyone does it not just China.
But I digress, if the CCP was focused on China's needs then Taiwan would not matter. But with hundreds of millions living on less than 1 dollar a day China spends billions to menace an Island that used to, and might again one day be part of the mainland Chinese culture- this is irredentism. But it also proves that the Chinese leaders may couch thier terms and use slightly different ways to reach thier goals but that they suffer from the same base motivations as politicians everywhere.
