The best bet here is to conduct a blockade. The Taiwanese will not be able to support themselves for long as it is an island nation dependent on imports to survive. This would be an avenue of incredible success.
Change in chinese policies of taiwan is a win solution rather than invading taiwan which is 99.9% sure lost. No one win in war, do not be like loosers, like the ones in war nowadays. They are the biggest loosers. Time to stay away under the influence of biggest loosers. ruf ruf
