Short answer: Yes. Long answer: China is still upscaling it's naval capabilities as it does have enough power for an invasion but faces two major challenges. First, how big will the group of outside support for Taiwan be? Possible considerable contributions could come from not just the US which is of course the main antagonist from Beijings perspective, but also from Japan, South Korea, Australia and maybe Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines or even Vietnam. Given their dependency on Taiwanese microchip manufacturing, a limited force from the EU and the UK is to be expected as well.

Remember, this is a civilized space for discussion. We discourage downvoting based on your disagreement and instead encourage upvoting well-written arguments, especially ones that you disagree with. To promote high-quality discussions, we suggest the Socratic Method , which is briefly as follows: Ask Questions to Clarify: When responding, start with questions that clarify the original poster's position. Example: "Can you explain what you mean by 'economic justice'?" Define Key Terms: Use questions to define key terms and concepts. Example: "How do you define 'freedom' in this context?" Probe Assumptions: Challenge underlying assumptions with thoughtful questions. Example: "What assumptions are you making about human nature?" Seek Evidence: Ask for evidence and examples to support claims. Example: "Can you provide an example of when this policy has worked?" Explore Implications: Use questions to explore the consequences of an argument. Example: "What might be the long-term effects of this policy?" Engage in Dialogue: Focus on mutual understanding rather than winning an argument. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
