When the people give up and are desperate you can just walk in and take over.
The rest, the show of air power, the missiles being sent around the world, are propaganda for the home crowd in China who are restive following the gathering collapse of the housing speculative boom, and associated shadow banking.
Nobody really expects the Chinese to use the missiles against Taiwan.
Cyberwarfare is where it's at, which is why the key component of the AUKUS agreement is not subs, which may never be built. It's protection in cyberspace.
