I don't think anyone is taking Taiwan without a ground invasion. The population has been preparing for China to blow the keg for at least 30 years.
I'm far from an expert on the region, I only lived in Taiwan for 18 months. The general vibe seemed to be "I don't want China to invade, but if they do, we will be ready for them." And this was back in 2014.
