As much as I would like to be optimistic, Taiwan should probably expect a hard deal from China - lots of oppression and little freedom. Beijing will be very anxious to squash out all remnants of "Taiwan Independence" once and for all as soon as it gets its hands on the island. Taiwan's different from Hong Kong - Hong Kong never really threatened to secede from the mainland. Taiwan will likely have less freedom of media and be ruled more rigorously. Despite being KMT, I'm very dubious of the idea of reunification as of now.
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
