And people will still say that nothing needs to be done, that Taiwan will inevitably choose a peaceful option.

Not if they were always meant to be a sacrifice to bleed China.
China can do a no fly zone over Taiwan. Bomb all military assets that it finds threatening without actual invasion. Essentially slowly degrade Taiwan until Taiwanese elect sensible leaders for peaceful reunification.

This doesn't work if Taiwan's means of striking China are kept at high readiness and hardened for a jihad-style attack.

That's why China is developing air and missile defense. Having a very strong missile defense is extremely important these days from a war survival perspective.

China cannot obviously destroy all of Taiwan's capabilities and some will be buried under ground. But the goal is to slowly bleed Taiwan and sap the morale of the Taiwanese.

Just look at how Iranians are revolting for Israel and US who literally killed them recently. They have been defeated mentally to the point that they are agitating for surrender and subjugation.

This is what China needs to against Taiwan. Pressure them so much that they mentally break and ask for reunification.

I mean is it even possible? Barely anyone identifies as Chinese as the DDP pretty much De-sinoized the island making peaceful unification pretty much impossible. China would no choice but forcibly take the Island.

Faith can be destroyed and rebuilt. Since Taiwan's perception of the mainland can be distorted, it can certainly be reshaped—it all depends on whether Taiwan's ruling party chooses to cooperate with mainland China.
