There were some think tanks that stated that war in the SCS should ideally occur at the 2025 mark.
The thought process is that the US gets weaker every passing year while China gets stronger. So waiting any longer will be a detriment to US interests while increasing the odds for a smooth (and peaceful) reunification with Taiwan.
Dude, the "reunification" stuff is ALL larp. Even the phrase makes no sense. The CPC has never controlled Taiwan. Throughout Chinese dynastic history, they didn't care at all about Taiwan. It was a dangerous place of zero importance.
Also, Taiwan isn't going to let some foreign country take over. This has never happened in the history of humans.
The CPC SHOULD have chased the KMT off of Taiwan or PREVENTED them from going in the first place. THAN they would have been welcomed just like the KMT were first initially welcomed because they weren't Japanese colonizers that treated Taiwanese like 2nd class citizens. (Obviously the KMT turned out to be worse - more oppressive, more violent, didn't care at all about developing the country)
The year is 2041. I'm rummaging through the streets of what was once, long ago, known as Seattle. I've long since turned off my Geiger counter - damn thing wouldn't stop beeping. But the roving bands of Nazis will kill me faster than the radiation if I set out for the countryside. My travelling companion shouts - he's found a place to make camp, with a mostly intact roof and a good view of the street. I move to the window to take first watch. As my companion lays down to bed he says, "Well you know, at least we saved the Uighurs. You know before all this happened my brother's friend's uncle who worked for the CIA told me the craziest stories about them..." and he drifts off to sleep. I contemplate whether to put a bullet into his head, or my own.

I love that the causus belli is literally "vibes"

Reminiscent of WW2
it's not just movies where we get constant remakes...
