Thankfully China has their own foresight problems and Taiwan is an island. China only had a fraction of the necessary amphibious assault landing craft needed to attack Taiwan. New craft will take years to build and US will be squawking about it far in advance so Taiwan has time to prepare + heavily mine the straits.
Not to mention Japan and South Korea and the wider world has a far greater strategic interest in Taiwan and they have committed to come to Taiwans defense. China controlling the straits there would squeeze those two countries supply lines and the word depends on Taiwan semiconductor.
