Obviously China would utterly dominate the super-national authority due to proportional representation. The point is to move towards unification while Taiwan remains a sovereign country in the interim. Taiwan becomes more of a part of China over time, while hopefully China's politics become more like Taiwan's.
> ...while hopefully China's politics become more like Taiwan's.
That's an utter fantasy, especially by the mechanism you propose.
To be absolutely blunt: your proposal strikes me as the kind of thing a no-nothing outsider would propose, someone who has no skin in the game and would suffer none of the consequences, and whose ignorance makes a solution seem easy.
I mean, FFS, (assuming your an American) would you propose a supra-national union between the US and China with "proportional representation" (meaning China dominates the US) and a mere hope that China's politics become "more like" democracy?
Uh, no. As I said up top, I didn't come up with the idea:
In the 2000 presidential election, independent candidate James Soon
proposed a European Union-style relation with mainland China (this
was echoed by Hsu Hsin-liang in 2004) along with a non-aggression pact.
In the 2004 presidential election, Lien Chan proposed a
confederation-style relationship. [1]
It seems to me that maybe your dismissal of the CCP making concessions towards unification in general fits the notion of a "know-nothing outsider" much more than what I wrote. Both China and Taiwan have long held that there is only "One China" and that they eventually belong together.
We thought bringing more capitalism would open up the CCP to more progressive government and attitude towards their citizens. None of that happened, and itβs probably worse now than in the 70s when Nixon gave it a shot. It was a complete failure.
