At best....
China could achieve a pyrrhic victory.
I do not know to what extent they would go "as a matter of principle" to curb their runaway province.
We assume that the Chinese are more practical than that.
An onslaught on Taiwan would necessitate taking out all US bases and assets in the region. That is already a wider war than they could stand. At best the chinese can field 100 nuclear weapons in an offensive...at best.
Now..as the OP suggested...the closer islands are at risk simply due to their close proximity to the mainland. That could be accomplished with minimal use of force and global outrage.
