I don't really see how. The Chinese people don't look up at Taiwan as a beacon of democracy. Most Chinese citizens are fine with the status quo. It's not a sentiment that actually lives among the people.

And there's plenty of other democratic countries to take examples from if they so desire.

And killing millions of people in another country to ensure a regime's survival is surely a big deal.

Most mainland Chinese support merging Taiwan back to China, either through a 1C2S deal or directly with force. Sentiments can be changed as needed through proper guidence of public opinion.

The survival of China and the CCP is the #1 goal, the deaths of a few million people isn't a big deal to achieve that goal.
