How much Taiwan need to pay each? My guess is $10M each or even more

I almost feel like the real price is unknown.
Different sources giving different totals, some giving the value of the 400 unit order, some give the 100 unit cost
In either case, there was also the cost of launchers (100), radar sets (25), and integration work included.

2029 to finish production (not even finish delivery) don't seem too optimistic for them.

The hilarious thing is that American officials (and think tanks) have gone on the record with various dates that they are sure the PRC will invade Taiwan such as 2025 and 2027. If these missiles were never scheduled to arrive before then, it means no one really took those dates seriously in the first place, but we hear about them all the time in the news.

Or they intend to take payment in advance and never deliver.

Nah. Even in a cold start, China won't respond immediately. Why engage in a hegemonic fight unprepared unless you are as ready as possible?

Say that Taiwan declares independence today, does that mean China has to go AR the next day? No. It can easily wait for a week or a month until it has fully prepared its military.

Giving the initiative to the opponent is easily the worst thing you can do because it makes you predictable and thus can easily fall in your opponent's meticulously prepared trap

That is too obvious.

In terms of military procurements, the source revealed that Taiwan is planning to purchase about 200 to 400 12-wheel large semi-trailer trucks, which would be used to transport Taiwanese missiles such as the Yun Feng surface-to-surface, supersonic cruise missile.

Czechs obviously don't know that this is something they shouldn't touch.
This foreshadows a worrisome future: it is only a matter of time before the "One China" policy is completely disrupted.

Tensions over democratic Taiwan, which China claims as its own, have spiked as Beijing intensifies diplomatic and military pressure to get Taipei to accept Chinese sovereignty.

"After all, these tensions occurred because of the attempts to change the status quo by force, and we together with the international community absolutely oppose such a change," Yoon said.

"The Taiwan issue is not simply an issue between China and Taiwan but, like the issue of North Korea, it is a global issue."

Perhaps this is just a form of bravado, but there is no doubt that if you show a slight tendency of weakness and concession, it will increase the risk of external military intervention.
Perhaps Kim Jong-un is not a trustworthy leader for China, but he can make Yoon Seok-youl feel restless.
