I believe China has decided not to for now without ruling out the possibility of doing it in the future.

China would have to have an overwhelming military advantage and/or some assurance that the US will not intervene before making such a move. * IMO China's economy is on the downturn in a permanent way (and has been for much longer than our inflation problem has existed), and - so - they will NOT reach the point (in our lifetimes) where their military might and technology allows them to reasonably think that they might successfully conquer Taiwan. * But I could be wrong. A weak US President - if sufficiently weak - would be all it would take to trigger an invasion of Taiwan. (But I still think I'm right about the Fall of China. I expect it will no longer be any sort of serious economic threat or power by 2050.)
