Also a lot of government agencies don't communicate with each other which leads to situations like these where one approved but the other didn't know and approved a second time.

Technically, China doesn't want to annex Taiwan per se because they already have the view that they "own" Taiwan. Thus, no annexation needed as Taiwan is just a "rebellious" providence that just so happens not to listen to the CCP. To annex means to acknowledge that Taiwan isn't under China's own control ab initio, thus no One China exists, but rather two Chinas exists., which contradicts their position. Taiwan also has the One China policy as well and as such it becomes a big elephant in the room that doesn't get acknowledged in day to day life unless saber rattling or some political maneuvering is needed.

Funny thing is that China really doesn't want to acknowledge the annexations and referendums since it is contrary to their One China policy with Taiwan. At the same time they know they are slowly being economically encircled with their actions (aka they antagonized South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, The Philippines, Malaysia, India, etc.) and need a semi-strong ally in the region, which is Russia. At the same time there are some historical claims and tensions with Russia.

That is why China has taken a more ambivalent stance (i.e. abstaining instead of voting for Russia) during most of this conflict than most people realize.

After playing FFXIV this gives me immense anxiety.

I mean it is Nintendo. Their products rarely go on sale and when it comes to consoles it is extremely rare to have a price drop. However, many stores will add a game or two to sweeten the pot, especially during holiday season.
