What are the chances this could happen within the next 50 years, without any nuclear exchange?

Hmmm...a population ratio of 50:1...
Slightly less plausible than Finland taking Russia.
That being said, I'd bet mainland Chinese will be more accepting of ROC rule than Russians of Finnish rule.
Great Leap Forward or Cultural Revolution going worse, end up in open rebellion in the mainland. Several US Backed Warlords end up swearing fealty to ROC...![]()

zero.
As in, even if the mainland's military forces disappear overnight, there is zero political will in Taiwan to make itself the government of all of China anymore. Taiwan likes being rich and de facto independent more than taking responsibility for 1.3 billion people, most of whom are really poor.
