Taiwan is a small place. A blockade or any economic disruption would be absolute end of the economy

Unlike Ukraine, they are not a big country. They have no where to retreat to. 90% of the population is squeezed on to its western coast, facing china. The rest is steep mountains. The slightest war and it would lose all trade, never to return.

I suspect China is already getting much of what it wants regarding Taiwan. There is already strong economic and travel ties between the two sides. Unless there is an outright push to independence, there is no need to move on Taiwan.

Autocratic country’s have to invade so they can loot the victim. It’s how they survive. The export finance was a novel move for an autocracy and it has failed. China must invade and loot to survive.
