Taiwan 2030- what are your predictions?

[headhonchoII]

-Taiwan part of Chinese economic zone with parliament in HK or Xiamen
-Taiwan still run as independent state although only recognized through the CEZ representative offices
-Taipei largely redeveloped although many dingy apartment blocks remain
-Large community of mainlanders in Taiwan, some
become integrated and localized, others send kids to attend their own PRC school systems and have little Beijing district in Taipei
-Kaoshiung largely cleaned up and most dynamic city in Taiwan economically
-East coast cities doubled in size due to better transportation and teleworking and disneyland type resort in Hualian/Taidong
-Aborigines get rights to semi autonomous regions but corruption scandals make this a hot topic
-Teleworking, freelancing , realtime translation change structure of work for most employees, many people teleworking on international projects outside of Taiwan, Foreign English teachers still come to Taiwan but large amount of telepresence teachers in classroom also along with AI teachers
-Actual schools still exist and still have pressurised exams but exams losing importance due to ability to learn by telepresence internationally and get foreign degrees in this manner.
Schools emphasize more project based work
-Taiwan still has very low birth rate due to busy work lives and females wanting more freedom
-Kending town expanded but newest kids on the block are other new more hip developments in Hengchun
- Taichung has metro and light rail, central area is the most popular for bars and nightlife, still has air pollution due though due to more lax industrial regulations
-Miiaoli city and environs becomes extremely popular with retired people who move out of Taipei and Taoyuan
- Large number of unemployed middle aged factory
workers due to automation, govt schemes attempt with little success to re-employ in construction, farming and service industries.
-Medical care more expensive due to bankruptcy of original Jianbao system and expensive modern treatments and drugs and large numbers of elderly people
- Nuclear accident in Kending reactor following massive earthquake and tidal wave results in nuclear power being phased out but not completely shut down yet due to worries over energy supply stability

China will have simply bought up Taiwan.

All major Apartment projects Chinese.
All major shopping malls Chinese.
All TV and Radio-station Internet Platforms controlled by the Chinese government.
The list can go on like this for pages.

The Mafia in Taiwan will be Chinese and one of them is going to be the new President.

Roxy 99 will still be a grimy underground club with vomit in the urinals.

And some of the same girls (and boys) will still be frequenting it.

And some of the same girls (and boys) will still be frequenting it.

yes but by then it will be called Roxy 100 due to original owners selling out to a couple of blue truck drivers.

All that I know is that i will be 18 years older, but still will like 20 something TW girls . Who will be even prettier, lord almighty!

but yeah big changes may be a comin in the year 2030 for the lil island called the wan.

I predict China and Taiwan become even closer and that much of the first posters predicts will come to be.

But maybe Taoyuan will be sold off to the Chinese who will build it up to be like another mega Chinese city. It will be unrecognizable.

Taiwan will be reunified with China and everyone has finally gotten on with their lives and a dream that should have died decades ago is finally dead.

I'll have had penis enlargement surgery that means those 20 year olds hanging out at Roxy whether it is 100, 99, vibe or whatever will be impressed with my large Asian brother.

Taiwan will be one of 6 independent Chinese countries, will be populated by 40 million people (refugees), and I will be writing a book about the time on the island before the empire broke up on the other side of the straits.

The wind will blow dust through unpopulated streets lined by rotting concrete husks. The Mayan Apocalypse is upon us in seven months.
