China will invade Taiwan for the reason most brutal dictatorships go to war-their economy is cratering and Xi wants to keep power. In order to solidify the unbalanced (largely young male) population behind him, he will declare a crusade to “liberate” Taiwan from the West.

Xi can't -- he may have young men, but he has no blue water capability. He will pick a war with India or Vietnam first

Secondly, they believe the RoC is part of China -- and the RoC believes that it is part of China.

I don’t know where you have been, but China has TONS of Blue Water platforms and they are about to deploy their second full sized Carriers (not a crappy Russian retread). This isn’t the 1980’s any more.They’ve also been modifying large numbers of commercial freighters to act as Troop Transports for the last 15 years. Taiwan is only 1300 miles from port-to-port and China has regional missile and submarine superiority sufficient to do it, and Xi knows it.

PRC believes the RoC is part of China -- and the RoC believes that it is part of China?

Remember when Mao Tse-tung (we didn't called him Mao Zedong) conquered the mainland China the communists slaughtered from 1,838,000 to 11,692,000 Nationalist Chinese, that maybe more than the Armenian genocide? In the mainland China today most Chinese know the communist radicals slaughtered their blood brothers blood sisters reading their critical past in the internet and because of the still draconian communists' Covid-19 enforcement many are now disgruntled with their communist rule government, I saw video footages of defiant hungry citizens in Shanghai when they couldn't even go buy food.

Whoever PLA's would go attack, conquer and to kill their blood brothers blood sisters mostly don't know their bloody history, I think many PLA's know.

If PRC would start war with their peaceful blood brothers blood sisters the ROC's are prepared to fight to death if they mostly die anyway if the PLA's will conquer their land. Ukraine government didn't know Russians would invade them, before PLA's get in their shores Taiwanese already saw via satellite the PLA's are coming, their ICBM's in the silos are prepared and armed. If Taiwanese have 2,000 kilometers range ballistic missiles, what do you think their warheads? Nope, not popcorn?
