This won't be a war. This will be a military showing up and declaring, "this territory is ours" when the established government leadership flees. This is effectively what the Taliban did. But since you struggle with that example, how about looking at Russia's take over of Crimea in 2014? My prediction is, there will be widespread protests in Taiwan, which Chinese sleeper agents will attempt to turn violent. Then Chinese commandos storm the presidential building taking Tsai Ing-wen and her cabinet hostage, the military will be ordered to stand down. Then the subsequent riots will be crushed.

You're saying Taiwan will essentially give up without a fight, which is laughable. If you think the Taiwanese and the Afghans were in similar situations, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. If Taiwan were just a land border neighbor to China, you might have a point. But that 100 miles of water is literally the main factor that has kept Taiwan independent since the Chinese civil war. To ignore that is downright idiotic. It is called GEO-politics for a reason. Human history is mostly shaped by geography.
