There are two takes on China's plans, China is increasing its energy production capability to be self sufficient and increasing its military to take on Taiwan in 2027, many of the media still portrays that China is modernizing its army and gearing up for 2027 invasion. With self sufficiency specially on energy, they could continue the war for as long as they want and won't be affected by any sanctions.
But there's an even larger idea about China getting to a technological advancement that it could dictate the earth and the solar system. They would become so technologically and militarily advanced that no one would even think of competing with them and they gets things done without a war and gets Taiwan.
Getting Taiwan is the end goal for all paths, the only difference is whether its in 2027 or much later.
I doubt that Taiwan is China's end zone. Well, they have been protesting about Taiwan for a long time. After all, they should have taken it back long ago. It's just that there are other countries that are getting involved in the issue, which, after all, has been over for a long time. They just think to delay it because they saw that Taiwan would be a big factor if there were a large-scale war.
China is also strengthening alliances in preparation in case there are countries that interfere with their taking back Taiwan. In terms of the military, they have also increased their budget here annually, and it seems like they are preparing too much for the approaching possible war.
