Breakthrough Advance in the China/Taiwan Situation

Both Taiwan and China slowly approaching onto each other and one day peacefully reuniting or at least forming a close alliance still is the by far most likely scenario for the situation, imo, and I always thought so. If there will be a war in the region with the US being one party in it, maybe it will be claimed that it is about Taiwan, but in reality maritime ressource fields will be the cause behind it - no serious Chinese invasion of Taiwan and destroying the Island in order to take it.

Maybe it will one day happen very quickly, like in case of German reunification as well, that came as so much an surprise and went so fast that London and Washington even tried to put a foot on the brake and convicing Moscow to stop it, that much overrolled they were by the events. The least prepared people of all were we (West)Germans ourselves.

As a German, I certainly wish the Chinese on both sides of the strait good luck.
