Wouldn't be too surprised if China and Russia coordinated their territorial ambitions. Sino-Russian relations can get strained at times but overall are good. It seems they have a common adversary in the US lead western world. I doubt there's much appetite amongst the public in the west for World War III, even if it were to be non-nuclear. It's hard to get good information but from what I know of China's naval capabilities, their limited scope might be the biggest impediment to taking over Taiwan rather than worry about geopolitical reactions to it.
