“Xi is up for re-election in October so he probably won’t invade until after that.”
Are chi-com elections free and fair, or are they like US elections?

In China, an informed elite elect the next leadership, instead of relying on a popularity contest among the general rabble.
It’s more like the College of Cardinals electing a Pope than the US electorate electing the next President.

For China elections....there is only one person on the ballot.
However, with Xi it now depends on what happens in Taiwan and on the domestic issues. He will probably still get elected and named “People’s leader” but with various issues, it may not be everyone votes for him (some may abstain or not be present).
