It is impossible to reclaim that territory without a world-class war. The current world order was established after World War II and has generally maintained relative peace. China has continued to follow the post-World War II order, and the Chinese people originally on that land have all been killed. The people currently on that land do not wish to join China either, making it very difficult. This is different from the Taiwan issue. According to the Yalta Agreement and the Cairo Declaration, Japan was explicitly required to return Taiwan to China, so there is a legal basis for it. Even so, China does not intend to reclaim Taiwan through war. If you have read Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" or Henry Kissinger's "On China," you would know that China has never easily resorted to war.
I don't even think there should be a war. Ultimately, if this issue will be resolved peacefully, then Taiwan will have to be reunified with China, as an autonomous zone like Hong Kong or Macau.
I hope for a peaceful resolution, which requires China and the United States to successfully negotiate their mutual interests. Currently, relations between the two countries are relatively difficult, but I hope both sides have the ability and wisdom to solve this issue. As for Taiwan, the sooner it negotiates terms with China, the better it will be for Taiwan. The Communist Party would offer conditions better than those given to Hong Kong and Macau. However, if it drags on for too long, Taiwan will suffer greatly, and the United States will also gain no benefits.
In its history, Russia has directly occupied 1.5 million square kilometers of Chinese territory, and forced Mongolia to split from China, and supported North Korea in launching a war that led to direct conflict between China and the United States on the Korean Peninsula. Despite the fact that both countries were waving the banner of communism at that time, the Soviet Union's threat to China grew increasingly larger, compelling Mao Zedong to choose cooperation with the United States to counter the Soviet Union. During the civil war between the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Nationalist Party, Stalin supported the idea of China being divided into two countries, which greatly displeased both Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. Regardless of who won or lost, neither wanted to be remembered as the historical figure responsible for the division of China.

Do you think Xi or a future Chinese leader should reclaim that land back?
