It also about if Taiwan is fully recognized as independent, Tibet and East Turkmenistan (Xijiang/Uighurstan), along with Inner Mongolia could either become independent, or in the case of Inner Mongolia join with Mongolia. It would also make the Communist government appear weak, and could incite uprisings and stronger protests than has been seen in Communist China.
