The Chinese have always made it clear that they will annex Taiwan to
China at some time, by military force if necessary. They know that
independence sentiment is growing, as survivors of the communist

It isn't allegiance to the west; the nationalists were more aligned with the west than are today's generation. It's just that they don't dream of somehow invading the mainland and retaking it.
