China's First Aircraft Carrier To Be Named After Admiral Who Conquered Taiwan

[Monoriu]

Mono has no grasp of, or knowledge about, the basic concepts of freedom, democracy and humanity.  So no, you shouldn't defer to Mono, as he'd steamroll Taiwan faster than his wife steamrolls him.

You underestimate my wife

Taiwan has far more options due to it's size, geography and wealth that HK simply did not have. The two are not comparable.

The last time Taiwan held a presidential election, the population overwhelmingly elected the party that supported engagement with Beijing.  There is a good reason for that.  Under the pro-independence party, Taiwan's economy went down the gutter.  Taiwan's major competitive advantage used to be in electronics.  But now all the factories have moved to the mainland.  They have yet to develop another growth area.  They don't really have many options left besides accepting Beijing's help. 

HK is significantly wealthier than Taiwan on a per capita GDP basis.  Taiwan is obviously larger than HK, but the population is only 3 times larger - i.e. it is still small at 21 million or so.  Both HK and Taiwan are small economies that depend heavily on external trading.

What is the opinion of reunification with the mainland under a "Two systems, one nation" scheme like HK and Macau?

Very, very few Taiwanese accept that.  The majority want the status quo.
