With China watching all whats going on with Ukraine v Russia I am pretty sure they wont make the same mistakes so:

1. Once a beachhead is established and supply lines established were talking maybe a week or two before the Island falls.

2. I am skeptical that they will it would be much easier to leave Taiwan to its fate than try and fight that close to China and in shallow waters of the SCS where China has every advantage.

3. I would say they would see it as a Chinese problem and Taiwan will just be another enclave of the PRC.
