In my opinion, not all units of the Republic of China military are willing to fight for the Taiwan separatists in control of Taipei. The military of the Republic of China has a proud history going back to 1911. They support the goals of unifying China with a national language, Mandarin.
The military of the Republic of China does not speak Taiwanese. I estimate only 40% of that military is fluent in Taiwanese.
On June 15, 2012 the military of the Republic of China sent Happy Birthday greetings to President Xi Jin Ping. They do not consider China to be their enemy.
The current ruling party in Taipei cut retirement pay to veterans already retired.
I believe Beijing is aware that the military on Taiwan is likely to be their ally. Beijing can easily win their support by agreeing to reinstate the 1992 accords, giving Taiwan autonomy until the political differences are resolved in peace
