You are correct, IMO. China can't take Taiwan through military. They're going to engage in informational warfare until there's enough people in Taiwan who want to be part of China and buy the politicians off. Taiwan will "willingly" join China in time. The weaker the West gets, the easier it is for China to accomplish this goal.
The only issue with that is that Taiwan KNOWS what is going on, they saw what happened to Hong Kong, they know about social credit and all that bullshit, and population will not get gobbled up easily.
