China won't invade or go to war against 'Chinese Taipei' unless they have to.
Why would they? That'd be like belting your girlfriend up because she doesn't agree with you.
And then, China would have to spend trillions to fix up all that damage, as well as have many killed and maimed on both sides of the Strait. A waste of lives and money.
As with your girlfriend, it's a lot better to talk it through.
China's red line for conflict is a Taiwanese Declaration of Independence. That's a red line for most countries, China included. The United States also included, as actually did happen back in 1861 when the Confederacy declared it was independent from the United States. I seem to remember invasions by both sides, and an infamous 'March to the Sea'.
