I spent a little bit of time in TPE back in the'90's & most of the people I spoke to back then were all in favour of reunification. Perhaps they were all below 30 at the time & didn't have memories like the older generation, but it seems to me that the CCP missed out on a peaceful solution back then. In fairness, it wasn't a large pool of opinion of course.
