Invading Taiwan would require huge amounts of troop and material. Those things have to been moved weeks if not months in advance and can be easily picked up by satellites. Add to that that you can't simply land your soldiers anywhere on the shore, there are only a few landing spots that can be used and which are of course heavily defended. Also, the two lands are close to each other so Taiwan can send missiles to the mainland and cause heavy damage to the cities on China's east coast. Finally the weather, which according to some people [0][1] offers only two short windows during which an invasion is likely to not fail. Another thing to keep in mind is that Taiwan consists of about 70% of mountainous areas, i.e the perfect terrain for an organized resistance. Invading Taiwan is but an easy task and it is believed to be an endeavor that would surpass the D-day.
