Never because the impending sanctions would collapse their country and kill millions.

I really hope smart people behind the scenes are moving critical manufacturing to Mexico/South America.

Xi sees himself as the new Mao, but actually has no real accomplishments to date. Mao united China. Deng brought HK and Macao back into the fold, Hu opened China up and accelerated its economy. Xi has done nothing except use anti-corruption to purge the party of his enemies.
Taking Taiwan would be an accomplishment that would elevate his status to that of Mao and Deng. I believe a Chinese invasion of Taiwan will occur in less than 5 years.

Won't happen, because there's widespread belief in a "one-China" construct.
Every Taiwanese person I met was a one-China advocate. China will simply reincorporate its "renegade province"; there will be nary a gunshot to be heard.

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to invade Taiwan? It's fortified mountain island. China would easily lose a million soldiers trying to invade with troops.

If the conflict in Ukraine has done nothing else, it has assured us that China is not going to invade Taiwan.
First, the amphibious invasion would be many orders of magnitude more difficult than what Russia faced, Additionally, Taiwan’s military is far superior to that of Ukraine.
Nonetheless, Ukraine is fighting Russia to a standstill. China has no desire to embarrrass itself on the world stage by trying (and failing) to conquer Taiwan.
”Unfortunately for Chinese generals …Taiwan’s 770-mile-long coastline is remarkably unsuited for amphibious operations."
The US considered an invasion of Taiwan during World War II and discarded the idea because military leadership believed it would take 500,000 men and 150,000 casualties to do so, even given complete control of the airspace and surrounding ocean. China would have neither of those advantages.

They aren't in the short term. There is no reason for them too. They will annex Taiwan politically over the next several decades--same as they did with Hong Kong.
China can't take Taiwan as things stand, especially if there is any USN/JSDF/Australian/EU aid whatsoever. They would end up looking worse than the Russians do flopping around in Ukraine. Given the importance that image/prestige plays in China, there is no chance they move for Taiwan until they are positive they can take it. Plus, they don't want Taiwan as a wasteland. They want the economic and industrial infrastructure. They can't just level the place in order to take it either.
If China was or ever had been capable of taking Taiwan, if would have already done it. But they aren't. As I said previously, they'll take it from the inside politically.

The USA better stock up on pharmaceuticals and antibiotics before this happens. We are at China's mercy. Thanks, again, Democrats...not.

They started quietly invading decades ago.

I bet Creepy Joe won't say a thing during his SOTU about the Taiwan crisis? Or the ChiCom Spy Balloon incident?
Most likely, the nation will be subjected to another long, dull arse narrative about 'we need to do away with fossil fuel' blah blah blah. Joe Biden is an awful speaker. Especially when he goes off prepared text and begins to blabber incoherently. His speeches are cringe-worthy, at best. Plus, he lies ad nauseam.
I'll skip the speech; thank you.
Trump 2024 - You want him in your corner.
