True but ideological reasons seem to be a big driving force for Xi Jinping. More so than his predecessors.
I don’t think China has any claim to Taiwan, they never even owned it that long. If the only reason is that it used to belong to them at some point in the past, then well, the Dutch and Japanese have a valid claim too. But they are independent now and that has been the status quo for 70 years. They deserve to be free.
