TAIWAN SHOULD APPROVE THE ARM PURCHASE, BUT BUY FROM CHINA, NOT AMERICA
 
What Taiwan buys from China should be the missiles that are pointed at Taiwan,
as well as enough naval arsenals that China could spare for defense of the Fishing Island.

And as a gesture of trust, China should put Hongkong and Macao under the jurisdiction of Taiwan.

China should use the purchase money to dig a tunnel under the Taiwan Strait.  Such a plan actually has been initiated as early as 1996.  Even if the money is not approved by Taiwan's Congress, private money from the Nationalist Party could be used as a repayment from what they took from China's Treasury.  And it's about time the Taiwan people be made aware that this money has been the reason for Taiwan's economic miracle. 

The two sides should agree that when the two land masses are physically connected, they should also become one people.

This reunification of Taiwan with China is not going to be the same a the previous one during the Ching Dynasty.  There are the issues of the loots Taiwan took from China's Treasury, including the priceless antiques currently in Taiwan's national museum.  Also the contrasting governmental system imposed on Taiwan by the Westernized Chinese needs to be reChinesenized in order China would one day be truly one.  Could all these result in "settling the scores after Fall?"  If future conflicts would ever arise, the comparatively impoverished segment of China mainland's population might just as well do a scorch earth on Taiwan now the Americans are out of the picture.  So, in order to minimize future problems, this union must be done with the utmost cordiality in the tradition of generousity that has characterized China in the past.
