I would delve a bit more into the literature if I were you. There is a lot of discussion regarding the application of "One Country, Two Systems" beyond Hong Kong and Macau. Many people do believe this is a viable option for Taiwan, especially in Chinese academic circles.

@aengel The system clearly did not work for Hong Kong (or rather, did not work in a way agreeable to the citizens of HK, it seems like the Chinese government is thrilled with the results...), why do you think the citizens of Taiwan would have faith in it?

@DenisNardin I don't think the citizens of Taiwan would have faith in the system. However, at some point Taipei is going to have have to grapple with Chinese regional (if not global) hegemony. China has clearly made it known that Taiwan will eventually come under their rule ("We make no promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary means" - Xi Jinping). How will Taiwan deal with that? It will eventually lose an economic/ military conflict and there's doubts about American willingness to defend Taiwan even now.
