They are staring down the barrel of demographic disasters, economic disasters, etc, and seem to think that a military victory would shore up their position.
Yes. Although i would word it a bit differently. It may not be to shore up per se, but essentially this is the only window they have to accomplish what they’ve been trying to do for 50 years…settle the chinese civil war once and for all.

If their plan is to wipe out the remainders of Chiang Kai Shek, they could do that if they wanted to.
If their plan is to take control of the island and all the industry within it? Not so much.
Getting large numbers of troops onto the island will be a problem. Only so many available docks, can’t paratroop in because Taiwan’s air defense will have a Turkey shoot, etc. And then you need to have logistical support once you make a foothold.
There is a reason amphibious invasions fail so often and D Day was the exception, not the rule.
