This is exactly right. The people that think China is going after Taiwan for no reason are greatly underestimating the realism of States.

I mean, it basically boils down to no reason though.

People in China are happy. People in Taiwan are happy. What moron would start a war over it now?

No, there are a lot of strategic reasons beyond that.

People in China and Taiwan are happy as it is right now, yes. But if the status quo changes, for example if Taiwanese independence is recognized, people will become unhappy.
