Ukraine had an extremely long border with open flat land, that makes it easy for tanks to roll straight from Moscow.

Taiwan is hard to invade. Yes, China can bomb them with artillery from the mainland, but to land large amount of troops and vehicles, they need to cross the water that can be mined. Limited landing zones are chokepoints. Taiwan has a lot of natural fortifications in mountains. A population of 23 million means lots of insurgency.

The biggest problem is... they have strict gun laws: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4148116

An unarmed population is just slaughter during war.

There are a lot of international ships around the straits of Taiwan, and wind farms. I'm in the vicinity. CCP would use a lot of commercial ships to land.

  I am sure they have ships. I think the problem would be mines. Like what Iran did in the Persian gulf.
