These guys operate on such a long horizon that they can afford to keep cajoling Taiwan for decades. In fact they might just let neoliberalism hollow out Taiwan while standards of living in China rise, till the point when the majority opinion turns positive towards PRC.

Letting the west sit in the corner and sniff glue for a couple of decades might do it anyway. We look fucking stupid.
