I actually don't think they want a war. They are preparing for a war, that's for sure, but to start one, with NATO? That's not a good idea. Time is China's friend at least for the next decade as you mentioned.

Where is NATO in this picture? There is no alliance trigger with a Taiwan invasion.

Nowhere. The relevant alliances are AUKUS [1] and the Quad [2].

There isn't in the case of Ukraine either, but NATO has mostly stepped up anyway. Sure we are not putting troops on the ground (yet???) but NATO has provided a lot of support.

Countries like South Korea, Japan, Philippians, and Australia are likely to get scared if China does too much and send some form of help.
