Past: Mao had the chance to conquer Taiwan, however, the causalties appeared him as too high, hence, this "goal" was never persuaded.

Present: Despite some very loud hardliners wishing for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, there is currently no indication that China is preparing for it:

"Milley added that he thought China had little intention to take Taiwan by force: There’s no reason to do it militarily, and they know that. So, I think the probability is probably low, in the immediate, near-term future."

"The PLA currently lacks the required amphibious lift, logistics, and materiel for a robust cross-Strait invasion and shows no urgency to achieve it,” Andrew Erickson, a professor at the US Naval War College"

I know it is boring for many that wish the evil China to do something really evil. But this won't happen, it seems.

Agreed. Also in their thinking, they have time on their side, for every year, for every decade, mainland China grows bigger in relative economic terms.
