China has made clear that it wants to take control of Taiwan, by force if necessary; and the two share a common language. That makes Chinese apps, music and drama particularly attractive and accessible to the Taiwanese and Taiwanese users a particularly important audience for Beijing. “The similarities in language make the risk higher,” said Josh Wang of the Taiwan Pang-phuann Association of Education, which is building an education programme to make Taiwanese students more aware of online risks and how to protect themselves.

Look how Justine Bieber dropped off the radar over the years you know even the teenagers will come to their senses after grown up. The current gen teens all witness how China treated HongKong(almost 10 years) and how they deal with covid(<5 years), then more recently how they deal with the flood. They probably have to bank on future teenagers, like no fuck up or political attacks against Taiwanese for another 10 years then they can try again.
Honestly economical assimilation/control might be a easier way.
