China will unite with Taiwan, even if no grass can grown there. No one should under estimate the determination of 1.3 Billion Chinese people.

I suggest you do a sampling of Chinese here in US, and see how many will tolerate a Taiwan as a nation, let alone those in Mainland, China.
A strong majority views Taiwan as being more like an independent country than as part of China. In February 1996, when China was launching missiles into the Taiwan Strait to reiterate its territorial claim during Taiwan's first democratic presidential election, Louis Harris presented respondents with two options to describe Taiwan's status. Sixty-two percent chose the description of a Taiwan as a "completely separate and independent of China." Less than one-third chose the description of Taiwan as "part of China." This does not necessarily mean that most Americans think of Taiwan as being no different than any other sovereign state, because the only other option was the description of Taiwan as part of China. But it does make clear that more Americans think of Taiwan as being more like an independent country than as part of China. Perhaps more important, in the same poll, 69% said that Taiwan and China should be reunified "only if the Taiwanese want to be"; just 18%, however, said they should "never be reunified"; and only 2% felt they "should eventually be reunified�under any circumstances."

You need to poll of 1.3 Billion Chinese not American, because this determines whether China will go to war when Taiwan declares independence.
