A much more likely trigger is any action that suggests America is changing it's position on the one-China policy. If the US adopts a position that looks very much like they no longer recognize the one-China policy and they view Taiwan as an independent and sovereign nation, that would signal an end to the status-quo, and it would dramatically increase the chances of armed conflict.
