I tend to think China's only beef with Taiwan is that it exists, I doubt they think they could absorb it's wealth.

If they suck Taiwan back into the fold, instant billions in their collective commie pockets.

Did Hong Kong noticeably influence their economy?

It wouldn't matter if they did or didn't. Taiwan's money would be their money.

Communists, Socialists, and Democrats have the midass touch. Everything they touch economically turns to shite. They always absorb wealth. Seriously, they (party bosses) would blow Taiwan's wealth on comfort girls and formal dinners with freshly sqeazed snakes.
