If the political leadership in Taiwan decides to unilaterally change the statusquo by declaring what is still essentially an illegal proclamation of "Independence" since that notion and declaration goes against Republic of China's (ROC) own constitution why can't the the PLA execute a decapitation strike against the political authority in Taiwan similar to what the U.S. tried and failed to accomplish in Serbia during NATO’S war against Slobodan Milosevic for the Kosovo War, and the "Shock and Awe" campaign which was really designed to strike and kill Saddam Hussein and his henchmen hoping to quicken the U.S. military operation.
Taiwan isn't a legally recognized country in the United Nations therefore it's legal status is not the same of the dejure state of Ukraine where it's a legally recognized sovereign state by the U.N.
Separating the political leadership from the military would perhaps lessen the unnecessary bloodshed between what's essentially Chinese soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen knowing and acknowledging that there's a significant amount of officers in the ROC military who wish nothing but reunification with the mainland, not to mention their values often clash with the growing western values of the Taiwanese political class and people espoused by the current government led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Essentially, what am advocating for is for employing the theory of Col. John Warden's Col. “five rings,” which returned to the vision of a decisive strike against enemy leadership through airpower, with the expectation that the target country would quickly fold.
