That's why the Chinese are so keen on taking over Taiwan as it will give them that access. The core theory that the PLA repeats is that they could overwhelm US assets in the region and quickly crush Taiwan in hopes of forcing the US to agree to a cease fire and peace deal.

How does Taiwan block mainland blue water access - any more so than Okinawa?

China has a plausible pretense to invade Taiwan. Okinawa? Not so much.
