This is not the question of how long China can persist in confrontation. First of all, in front of the Chinese Mainland, the military strength of the Taiwan authorities is just a small bug, which can be easily eliminated within a few weeks or even days. Therefore, the real question here is how long Japan can wage a one-on-one war with China before crying for help from the United States.

The Chinese army is considered the third most powerful armed force in the world, after the United States and Russia.
Compare it with Japan (No. 7) and Taiwan, China (No. 18).
Japan is one of the most populous countries in the world, with 127 million people. One quarter of the Japanese live longer than 65 years old, and 50% of the population live on 2% of Japan's land. A few strategic missiles dropped in the center of several cities can destroy half of the Japanese. Those living in rural areas are where all the old people live. Bombing and aging will end Japan.
Taiwan, China has a population of only 23 million, of which 1 million to 2 million are foreigners, including a large number of people from Chinese Mainland. (In the city where I live, there are 50% more mainland people.)
One quarter of Taiwan's population is 55 years old or above. Nearly half of Taiwan's population lives in the Taipei - Keelung - Taoyuan metropolitan area; A small area in the north.
If Japan and Taiwan, China started the war, the situation would be even worse. After all, the United States will abandon them at that moment and accept their fate, and then China will have one day to defeat those idiots who think this is a good idea.
Basically, if Taiwan, China and Japan want to survive, they'd better not try to provoke or invade China.
