  Han unification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Han unification is the process used by the authors of Unicode and the Universal Character Set to map multiple character sets of the CJK languages into a single set of unified characters.
Opponents of Han unification state that it steamrolls over thousands of years of cultural tradition, misses many of the subtleties that are one of the most important features of these languages, and renders serious literature and academic research in these languages impossible.
Proponents of Han unification point out that the unification process is in the hands of specialists from China, Korea, and Japan, and that the objections to unification of specific characters are made without regard to their histories.

What is encouraging is that the majority of Chinese nationalists and unificationist also do not object to the idea of using plebiscite for solving critical national issues despite their fear that the majority of the people might vote for Taiwan independence in a plebiscite.
Since the Chinese mainland is still under the control of the CCP, pursuing unification with the mainland in the near future will certainly mean surrendering a new democracy to a communist regime and sacrificing the economic well-being and freedom that they have worked so hard to achieve.
Since neither Taiwanese nationalists nor Chinese nationalists consider it extremely urgent to pursue their nationalist goal at all costs and to push for a final settlement in the immediate future, the status quo is likely to be prolonged for quite some time.
