The biggest problem with China's hypothetical invasion of Taiwan is the price that Beijing would have to pay for such an assault. A Normandy-style landing operation wouldn't work in Taiwan, for a number of reasons. First, potential landing zones on the southwestern and northern/northeastern coasts of Taiwan were identified by both sides decades ago; outside of these areas, putting troops on the ground is only possible using helicopters – it is difficult, if not outright impossible, for naval troops to advance from the beaches in those areas. China only has two amphibious assault ships, and a helicopter assault through the Taiwan Strait would be too much even for China.
This Russian analyst is dismissive of China's ability to pull off an amphibious assault on Taiwan. Well what could the Russians teach China about amphibious warfare? I don't think so.
China will not make the same mistakes as Russia. China has a more modern navy, and far superior ISR capability. This is not Normandy of 1944. This is 2022 with satellites, missiles, drones, and strike aircrafts. The PLA will show this pompous Russian, how to do ISR, and deep interdiction on the enemy defences. The Taiwanese beaches will not be manned by battle-hardened Nazis. They'll be manned by confused, scared, and green ROC troops.
Unlike the Russians, China will have drones, and lots of them. They won't be there to just to watch and lase targets. They will actively join the fight too. China will teach Russia, how to properly use drones in modern combat.
The PLAN will not make the same mistake as the Moskva. They'll not have their ships sailing around in offline mode when the Taiwan Straits is hot.
China will show the Russians what electronic warfare really looks like. Not the joke of EW the Russians are doing in Ukraine.
The Russians are good in artillery? So are the PLA. Both have trained together. China has comparable and superior rocket and gun artillery systems to Russia.
