Well it's about time for China to start building up it's own covert activity capabilities then. Organizing a counter coup to topple a US coup is not such a bad idea. Its better than war. Now that Pelosi has lit the fuse. China has no more obligations to 'behave'.
China has the money. Especially that gigantic USD reserves whose value is starting to get increasingly dubious as time goes by. Channeling a small portion of that USD reserves into the black activities is also one way to get back the US.
I believe that China had already infiltrated the military and intelligence apparatus of the ROC. It's been a historical issue for the ROC. What they should do now is to strengthen the pro-China politicians, and civil movements. Also, give the Blue-camp more some more political strength. They are not pro-PRC, but they are a good step up to steer Taiwan away from independence ideas. Also gives China some level of plausible deniability.
About hiring guns. Mercenaries and hitmen can be bought up relatively quickly. Give them a good enough price, and you get better quality. Just don't be too cheap, or you get idiots. There is not really any moral threshold for China to cross. Chinese businesses are already hiring PMCs for security in dangerous areas of the BRI anyway.
Then again, China does not need to assassinate politicians. Killing the DPP criminals would technically martyr them. Best is to smear them and give their opposition ammo to hit them with. Engineer a scandal or something. DPP members are US assets, so they should have some dirt to dig up.
Off course all of these is much easier said than done. But being noble and passive won't help either. It's still better for China build up some muscle for it's own psy-ops and black-ops.
