As I understand it Taiwan no longer makes any territorial claims on the mainland (Taiwan still claims ownership of nearby islets). Ball is in the CCP's court to invade before 2049, the centennial of the "peoples revolution". There is a strong symbolic desire to do so on the part of many in the CCP, but there is a smaller competing clique whose preference is to have a peaceful reunification (loaded term since many would say China was at no point really unified with formosa in recent centuries).
