    China needs Taiwan to enforce its claim on the south China sea. But i don’t think they’re going to need a military annexation, my bet is in a political re integration, where Taiwan keeps some of their independence.

      Unless I’m mistaken, that’s effectively already where they’re at with Taiwan. A Taiwanese passport, drivers license and such are all valid and accepted in mainland China.

        I think that user means more like the PRC making it into a Special Administrative Region or something (which I am pretty sure the PRC says is its goal too).

      Single country, two systems, but with possibly even more autonomy as Taiwan is much bigger territory than Macau and Hong Kong. It’s not bad and most realistic solution and Taiwanese are seeing how it work quite well in other places and how PRC is serious and consistent about it.
