Not even that. Full-scale war is preferable to nuclear Taiwan for them. The Chinese are very confident they could invade Taiwan before the US would be able to get through their A2/AD shield, and they would probably be right. In other words, they're quite confident they would win the war as far as Taiwan is concerned.
China sees a nuclear-armed Taiwan as an existential threat.
