Shocker

I mean yeah that's what they've been saying for like 60 plus years right? Is it even news at this point?

Let's be blunt about this. KMT is heavily supported by the PRC. They are not so much an "opposition party" as they are an instrument of the Chinese government operating Taiwan. The leader of KMT met with the leader of the PRC to receive marching orders.

If China would just agree to independence and work with Taiwan they would be able to heavily influence them due to geographical location and the rest of the world would treat them as the one and only superpower replacing America.

That would make them the world superpower without question.
