Kim should do that Hbomb testing he promised
On group number 3, there's no need to exaggerate. Just accept that with over 70 years of separation, we have seen the creation of a separate Taiwanese identity.
But if you look to the past, national identities do disappear, change or are assimilated.
Update:
China
China extends military exercises until August 15.
Chinese military ignored numerous calls from the Pentagon - Politico
The Chinese army began another live-fire exercise - from August 6 to 15 in the southern part of the Yellow Sea - PRC Maritime Security Administration
"China is in the process of building up its nuclear arsenal at a very rapid rate - three or even four times," - US Deputy Secretary of Defense.
In addition, Politico reports that the US military command has repeatedly tried to contact their Chinese counterparts amid the escalation around Taiwan, but Beijing does not answer calls.
What pindos? Nobody picks up the phone? What to do now?
A typical situation in American politics. It looks something like this - we will spoil your soul in the political field in such a way that it will not seem a little. But in the military field we will maintain contacts, we do not want escalation and war
Approximately the same thing happened in Syria, when they were spoiling on all fronts, and the only communication channel was the telephone line at the level of the chiefs of general staffs (more precisely, our General Staff and their analogue).
What is the point of China picking up the phone if it has already started the flywheel of the "hybrid war" against Taiwan.
Listen to someone's conditions and ultimatums? What for? The PRC will do an excellent job of gradually "suffocating" Taiwan economically and then politically.

If these exercises are not limited to a show of force in a few days, but gradually turn into a continuous presence of the Chinese fleet and air force off the coast of Taiwan, the established logistical routes could indeed be seriously affected.

Idk man maybe you should ask Iwasato Masao if he considered himself a separate national identity or Japanese.
It's not my words, it's their own words. Such Taiwan "independence" movements also seek to overturn the potsdam declaration and validate the formerly destroyed treaty of shimonoseki.
I'd rather they be some own identity but in reality most of them are not.

There is two scenario:
A: Pelosi visit is under Biden’s blessing
Yet he give Xi his assurances that no US official will be there; That's is 言而无信 for him - which shows its reckless and possessed “I can do sth to harm u and me without any return”
B: Worst than A. Biden is some puppy shiting his pants in WH uncontrollable while he can not control his coparty colleague although she flight with an US Airforce assets and Biden is the command in chief. Not only Pelosi is looking for profit under his administration there is also someone else
If A is real then the Lithuanian visit is also scheduled. If China intercept. EU will react given US upper hand to turn the table
If B than is more likely Blinken also want to get into the anti China Hall of fame
