And China has promised to take Taiwan. I’d take them at their word. They even gave their military a deadline of when to be ready.

Link to Chinese source? I'd like to know when the given deadline is.

Also just cuz the CCP said so dosnt mean its true or people believe it. I mean look at how their real estate market took that massive hit and the goverment s official stance was to ignore it at least publicly. It was well know that ever grand was not building houses that people actually lived in for years.

1. That’s an American source 2. The deadline is implicit based on demographic/economic calculations, not set by China

On a personal note, I don’t see how China is even capable of invading Taiwan. If they do try, it’s probably gonna be a Ukraine style war of attrition with Taiwan backed by the US such that China loses a huge amount of power while the US only gets more powerful

UAVs trash the invasion force. At sea, on the beaches.
