Why are the Kuomintang in Taiwan still interested in Reunification with Mainland China?

Taiwan's increasing economic dependency on mainland China and the benefits reunification could bring to boost Taiwan's economy. In addition to economic reasons, the social and cultural divide between Taiwan and China isn't that deep. Their split only happened in 1949, which is like only a generation ago. Even Hong Kong came under China's sovereignty after over 150 years of British rule, so why can't Taiwan consider reunification?

What is considered a safe haven for the Chinese Nationalists?
When the Chinese Communists defeated the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang/Guomindang) in Mainland China, the Nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan (also known as Formosa) and established rule over the island. To this day, one of the dominant political parties in Taiwan is the Kuomintang (which goes under the moniker of "the Blue Party").The irony is that because Kuomintang has unity with mainland China as an aspirational goal (as opposed to its political rivals which seek Taiwanese independence), the Communists in Mainland China prefer to negotiate with Kuomintang leaders in Taiwan than any other major Taiwanese political party.
