Should Taiwan be part of China?

I am writing a novel right now about the aftermath of a Chinese-USA war over the issue of Taiwan. Taiwan isn't worth a nuclear war. China is progressing just fine as it is. It would be a horrendous stupidity to risk a confrontation with the USA over an island it could just as well do without. If indeed China wants Taiwan back, it should entice it to come back willingly. Have Taiwan request unification just as Texas willingly requested to become a part of the United States because it was in its best interest Same goal achieved without the insanity of war.

It would be much more than just brother against brother. It would bring Rusiia, North  Korea, Europe,  Japan the USA and a host of other countries into it. That's why it is very essential that extreme caution be used in dealing with thisa issue.

Speaking as an outsider's point, most of my friends and I think that Taiwan has a strong standpoint since the Chinese government clearly needs to beat itself into shape up to this point. But it seems so if you look at it objectively into the economy, Taiwan has shown much dependence on PRC. It could of course stand on its own but then again it is beneficial that it remains in relationship with PRC in some alternative way.

I have seen very extreme points from both sides and most of them have rendered different levels of subjectivity to the matter. The Chinese seems to take it as is that Taiwan is just part of it, terriotorywise at least; and the Taiwanese definitely have strong opinions about the Chinese, like we all do in someway or the other. All in all, Taiwan could do all that they want but China is on the rise and should be realizing sooner or later that Taiwan is not an essential part of their growth.

God knows what would have to this argument and I think Europe and America would only be happy to see them both going down or at least with slower growths. it's only for them to realize so.
