Yes I believe the Chinese Civil War is not resolved and is playing out in the political arena we observe in the international media.
In addition there is a second front in the Civil War between the pan-Blue and the pan-Greens on Taiwan.
It is a very civilized Civil War for the time being. Sort of like Canada’s civil war with the Anglophones and Francophones.
Yeah, it’s kind of confusing. There are multiple models at work. There’s the not-dead-yet conflict between the ROC and the PRC, and there’s the Taiwan identity/independence movement. Ironically, now the KMT seems to advocate something that in its heyday, it might have jailed people for: unification/reunification with the mainland.

Nonsense, if you lived in Taiwan in the 50’s and 60’s with a command of English at this level, CKS would have made you a general and sent you off to Washington to convince people that Taiwan would have been a great lauch pad to attack the PRC, with the goal of unified them with the ROC again.
That’s right, they wanted unification in the other direction. You caught me napping! 
Incorrect. The whole Strait Issue is rooted in the historical distortion that October 25 is “Taiwan Retrocession Day”. Taiwan needs to get rid of this inaccuracy.
Of course, because getting rid of the day that commemorates something means the event never happened. Why didn’t anyone else think of this? We could’ve stopped WW2 by getting rid of all commemoration days! It would never have happened!
