If they do opt for a military intervention, imo Taiwan will either fold near instantly as the island is blockaded and Chinese troops pop up everywhere or they just blockade it and wait
But I sincerely doubt it'll come to that. China isnt Russia. The thing is Taiwan is so close to China that the entirety of the island can be bombed, port striked, and blockaded without landing a single troop
Russia's a little different because they have a land border with Ukraine and there was an active separatist struggle going on near the border since 2014. Taiwan reunification is presently less of a security concern for the PRC vs the Russia situation.
They make a huge portion of the world's superconductors and computer chips I think. That alone is reason enough for China not to even want to invade.
I mean I thought similar things about Russia so I'll say that much but I just don't think these are similar at all.
