Some things to note, not easy to invade Taiwan. As soon as the CCP makes a move the world sees it - unlike Ukraine, it'll take a fair amount of time to get ships across the Taiwan Straight to Taiwan.
The Taiwan strait is not a padding pool - it's a rough sea. There's only one ideal season/time to cross it each year, else the weather will make it difficult. For the CCP to keep their invasion supplied, reinforced, it won't be easy to keep sending ships across. Due to the aforementioned and the fact that Taiwan allies can easily pick off ships as they cross.
Taiwan has guerrilla advantage, it's mountainous, lots of vegetation. When Japan occupied it, they didn't take the South East area of Taiwan, as the indigenous taiwanese tribes knew their mountains like the back of their hands and would regularly behead Japanese soldiers that entered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu…
