As a result of conflicts between communist and capitalist forces in the late 1940s and early 1950s, both China and Korea are divided into two parts. Both have been divided for about 60 years now. It's been a long time.
One day I hope there will be reunification of China. However, there are a lot of challenges. There are political challenges, due to the different types of government. And there are economic challenges, since the mainland communist China has a much lower GDP per capita than Taiwan. However, the mainland is catching up very rapidly, with an average of about 9% growth in real GDP per year ever since Deng Xiaoping took over as the de facto leader.
Historically though, this was not the first time that China has been divided. But I hope this situation will be resolved well during my lifetime.
