China doesn't need to invade Taiwan. The main opposition party in Taiwan, the KMT, is a pro-china party and 'favors Taiwan’s eventual unification with China'.

Admittedly they have been out of power since 2016, but China has a clear path to reunification that doesn't require war.

That’s my bet. China’s growing domestically and internationally, US/NATO are stalling, time is on their side in the short and medium term, if they can keep their economy afloat and avoid internal fractures.

If the threat of war and the fear of China's military is responsible for some Taiwanese being pro unification, I wouldn't say that's a peaceful solution. It will be annexation, followed by Hong Kong-style stripping away of Taiwan's freedom of expression, democracy and human rights.
