Taiwan imports 60-70% of it's food and they can't increase domestic production because they import fertilizer and they can't make their own fertilizer because they import natural gas, and they don't have any domestic gas fields.

China doesn't need to storm the beaches, they can passively blockade Taiwan until they give in.

Taiwan has hundreds of anti ship misiles with a range of over 100km.

China doesn’t have to storm beaches to be within shooting range.

If Taiwan were an easy conquest it would have been conquered. It’s not impossible that China would attempt some sort of belligerence, but Taiwan is capable responding to any threat with enough firepower to deter such actions.

You don't need ships to blockade
