of course history matters but if a people see themselves as a people and want independence we should recognize that it isnt the case here but if it was the question would be more complicated than just “china good”
What people want can change and it’s never a good measure of anything in geopolitics.
At the end of the day it’s a matter of who has the biggest stick and whether they want it to use it or not.
The US and its vassals, have huge economic interest in Taiwan (electronic chips) and political too (weaken China), so China can’t do much, unless they want to risk a global crisis.
