Yes, as they have since the war, just as Taiwan claims China. Your point?
Peace with Taiwan has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, with a mutual understanding that nobody would try to force the issue too hard (look up “strategic ambiguity”). In recent years, the US has been recklessly deviating from that understanding and now people treat the status quo as “Chinese aggression,” because of propaganda.
There is no “claim” to be made and there is no “reclaim” to be had against such a claim.
Taiwan is and always has been recognized as part of the country of China. That’s why the losing army in the civil war went there - because it was part of the country they were a party of.
China has stated for 70 years that the island province of Taiwan will be integrated into the rest of the governance of the country. For 50 years it has explicitly stated it will be integrated peacefully, because the CPC recognizes that doing it forcefully would actually be contradictory and create a constant guerilla warfare situation as well as invite the world’s militaries to intervene. The CPC has no intention of forcing Taiwan to integrate except if Taiwan works with foreign governments to establish a substantial and real threat to the security of the mainland.
If China waits long enough, the Western economies will collapse and Taiwan will very quickly and easily realize that the West just can’t support them anymore and when they look to see who they depend on for nearly everything, and who their relatives are and who their dominant trading partner and who can protect them militarily, it’s going to be an easy process of integrating the provincial government of Taiwan into the government of the mainland - especially since the CPC is committed to One Country Two System meaning the provincial government of Taiwan can continue operating with the same structure and same politicians and same processes as it has now.
Yes. Integration means less conflict, more collaboration, less redundancy, more dynamism, less wasteful military build up, fewer threats from the US.
One country two systems means that China provides for national defense of the entire space while Taiwan maintains a substantial amount of governing autonomy.
Think of it like Greenland choosing to be a part of Denmark to keep itself safe from the US military, except in this example Greenland would be historically part of Denmark for centuries and have a population of 99% Danes and have some parts of Greenland only 4 miles off the coast of Denmark with US troops already stationed on it training Danes on Greenland to fight the mainland.
No capitalist country can have a good democracy, some have just way better PR than others. Hell, the crackdown on pro Palestinian protests in western liberal democracies proves that.
When it becomes untenable for the US to maintain a global military hegemony Taiwan will reluctantly submit to being in the Chinese orbit because of geographical realities and then be firmly on a path to reunification. It’s very likely the only blood that will be spilled will be by the chud protestors.
Hasn’t China stated that they intend to reclaim Taiwan? Don’t they claim Taiwan as part of their country right now?
Yes, as they have since the war, just as Taiwan claims China. Your point?

Taiwan isn’t claiming the mainland anymore since the 90s
The power of just saying shit
Source? It’s in their constitution.

Is that integration supposed to be a good thing?
Yes. Integration means less conflict, more collaboration, less redundancy, more dynamism, less wasteful military build up, fewer threats from the US.

China seeks to reclaim Taiwan as part of China for the same reason Taiwan seeks to reclaim the mainland as part of China.
Yeah these guys are dreaming that China won’t invade Taiwan.
China is not the good guys now… America is just fuckin worse
If you believe in good guys and bad guys as an adult I’ve got a fuckin Harry Potter wand to sell you
Not every country in the world is as corrupt as the the US.
You let your politicians trade shares, what else do you all expect to happen?
No capitalist country can have a good democracy, some have just way better PR than others. Hell, the crackdown on pro Palestinian protests in western liberal democracies proves that.
You should try basing your beliefs on facts and evidence sometime.
China was just talking recently about how Taiwan is there’s…
What world do you live in where China won’t invade Taiwan eventually…
When it becomes untenable for the US to maintain a global military hegemony Taiwan will reluctantly submit to being in the Chinese orbit because of geographical realities and then be firmly on a path to reunification.

They’ve been “just recently” talking about how Taiwan is theirs for the past 70 years and haven’t done shit.
I live in a world where basic pattern recognition exists.
