With the way China is acting you honestly believe they would agree to any deal that keeps Taiwan independent? Have you been paying attention the last 5 years?

Your idea is completely naive of the politics of the situation IMO. Trying to broker a deal where China agrees to let Taiwan be independent seems like an exercise in futility. Also they're a dictatorship so it's not like you can wait until there's a more favorable party in power.
