I'm far from an expert - but wasn't Hong Kong very different? UK gave it back to China. It was China's territory - they just sped up taking control on the one country, two systems set-up.

Taiwan and China had a war and Taiwan ended up on the island. Will be a huge undertaking for China to 'win' over Taiwan using soft power given all the back ground.
