I mean, we have to realize what a turn of events our relationship with China has been. Like, I think a lot about how Red Dawn envisioned the Chinese would join the Third World War on our side in a world where the Euros ditched lmao

The main limiting factor on Chinese behavior has always been the threat of unified enemies on its periphery. Xi/Chinese leaders have always known this and sought to keep enemies divided, even if it meant appeasement when weak. I think an invasion of Taiwan would be too alarming.

Japan and Korea being part of an alliance against China would scare them, but enough threatening behavior and who knows? What about Vietnam and the US? US is also building military partnerships with Thailand. Philippines US cooperation has a long history...
