I think that China saw the shitshow that is Ukraine, saw that even the US is breaking its teeth on Iran, and decided that a direct attack on Taiwan either will fail or leave them with an utterly destroyed Taiwan after an exhaustive battle
Either way, the cost of a Taiwan invasion attempt and all the fallout that comes with it would just make it a really bad move.
Next up: diplomacy
can't they just buy up all the semiconductor facilities and put Chinese people in there
