China considers Taiwan part of China.
I am not sure what you mean by this question. Taiwan is regarded by China as a breakaway province, while Taiwan sees itself as an independent nation. If you are asking whether Taiwan can "win over" China-- to persuade China to accept Taiwan as an independent country, that is very unlikely, since the Chinese government is firmly insistent that Taiwan must rejoin China. At this point, China has not threatened Taiwan nor is there a possibility of a war, but both countries see themselves very differently, and I doubt that will change at any time in the near future.
That depends upon the viewpoint of the people talking about it. Taiwan is part of China instead of an independent country. According to the statement of the U.S., "THE US DOES NOT RECOGNIZE TAIWAN AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY. Furthermore, the US does recognize Taiwan as part of China." China has "Anti-Secession Law", which states that mainland China and Taiwan belong to one China and that there is only one China and that the sovereignty of that one China is indivisible. What's more, many countries and the U.N. recognize that Taiwan is part of China and there is one China in the World. For the above reasons, Taiwan is a part of China. The people on Taiwan don't fully agree with that viewpoint and it is still a source of political friction.
No, Taiwan has not been recognized by the United Nations as an independent nation. It did once during China's communist revolution in the 1950s-1960s. However, in 1971, China or "People's Republic of China" gained entry to the United Nations. Thus, "Republic of China" or Taiwan was expelled as a member. Taiwan has been trying to get membership into the United Nations, but since China is insistent that Taiwan is part of China and China is a permanent security council member, they've been vetoing Taiwan's bid for readmission.
If Taiwan were to take the gamble and cross that line, the argument goes, it will have moved closer to "de jure independence," or legal separation from the mainland, and Beijing would have little choice but to engage it militarily. And yet, Taiwan has repeatedly "declared" its independence ever since the island's process of democratization began at the end of the last century.
Yes they do
This happened a few years ago. Taiwan wanted to become independant. China threatened to attack if they did. There was suppose to be a war but it didn't happen. Taiwan a new representitive and he decided to stay with China. So Taiwan is currently a province of China.
Taiwan is independent and working as a country just like every country else
Mainland China has always strived for possesion of Taiwan, and there are many tensions between the two countries. If China eventually does gain possesion of Taiwan, it would be considered a "success" for Beijing in the eyes of the Chinese people and demonstrated the might of Beijing. Taiwan is a US look-out base for China. US and China are of course not allies. Who would want their country to be surroundered by their enemies? And Taiwan becoming independent could harm China's one china policy- Tibet and other regions potentially could become independent.

China also lays claim to Taiwan, although it is an independent country.
