Bye bye China. No one wants you. THE Communist Party’s strategy for bringing the self-governing people of Taiwan into its fold has long been tricky seduction. Ply them with money and favours (and tourists from the mainland) if they play along, and with threats of cutting them off if they don’t. Let them see how happy and prosperous the people of nearby Hong Kong are under Chinese rule. That strategy is faltering. China is not winning hearts and minds in either Taiwan or Hong Kong.
