Because for China, Taiwan represents the capstone to the century of humiliation narrative.

It's humiliating that Taiwan has been such a success despite China's efforts to undermine it?

No, the issue is that Taiwan was taken from China by Japan in like 1900 after the first Sino-Japan war.

So reclaiming Taiwan would be for China like a reversal of that war.

Huh? No it's more that the right wing nationalists fled there and managed to hold out and never be defeated by the communists.

The right-wing KMT is a rump of its former self. There is an indigenous independence movement now.

Taiwan is an existential threat to the CCP if Chinese people see it as an alternative model to one party rule. for whatever reason the communists never conquered Taiwan and now lots of arms sales have made it much harder for them to finally do so.

I’m actually more sympathetic to China’s claims re: Hong Kong than Taiwan. Hong Kong is basically just a vestige of British colonialism. Why should that get any deference? China could invite the Brits to start a third opium war if they feel that strongly about the issue

Why would they do that? They will probably invade in the next 20-30 yrs anyways so might as well claim it as rightful Chinese clay
