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.
