They could roll those dice but I don't see China pulling it off.
Japan, India and others would jump in because they see themselves as next.
Sino-India rapprochement has started as of late, most likely India would remain neutral, especially given the fact the U.S. under both Trump and Biden have been hinting at sanctions against them from years. Japan, I have no doubt, would join a conflict to defend Taiwan but AUKUS and Japan can't defeat China in the Taiwan region.
