Depends on your criteria of success. Could they invade Taiwan, quickly take control, and suppress the people? Yes very easily indeed.
Could they do it without serious global economic sanctions? probably not. A temporary* setback.
Could they do it cleanly without immediate serious damage to the infrastructure and economy of Taiwan? No. Hmmm BIG Problem, China trades with and relies heavily on stuff produced/developed in Taiwan.
Which is why the Chinese plan is to infiltrate from within, influence, try and get a handle on internal power - do a Hong Kong. The other political party there is pro China. Which is why they are furious with Nancy, or anyone else western visiting and influencing.
*The Chinese concept of temporary. China is a very old, one of the oldest "civilisations" Plans there are long term. Very long term. They are thinking 50, 100, 150 years ahead. A concept Western minds and powers dont grapple with.
