Chinese are gaining freedoms, slowly to be sure, but it is happening. The communist gov't may reach a tipping point where the demand for complete freedoms overwhelms them. If that happens, then China and Tawian can rejoin without war.
"Uh, the Chinese are Communists, and the only way you can "work out your differences" with Communists is to become a Communist yourself, or run them into the ground like Reagan did."
Well said. Of course, we would have disagreements about the last part...but we wouldn't disagree for Reagan's lack of trying. Had Golitsyn defected during Reagan's presidency (as opposed to JFK's) I think the world would be a lot safer place right now.
