I disagree it's gonna be 2027 though.

Fujian will probably be commissioned in late 2025 or early 2026, but commissioning does not mean combat ready; it would be quite fast for the Fujian to develop initial combat effectiveness in 3 years. Similarly, the 076 is expected to be commissioned in mid-late 2026 and will take a couple years to be combat ready. In addition, the PLAN has a new batch of 055s and 052Ds under construction, which are expected to enter service between 2025 and 2028, again taking time to become combat effective.

(These dates are speculation ofc)

There's just also a lot of other prep needed and 2-3 years is not enough.

I think, at the very least, we should wait until after the outcome of the Russia-Ukrainian war. In the best and currently seemingly very likely scenario of a Russian victory, with all the supplies of the West being depleted. The US will have to focus on Europe in order to balance the balance of power in Europe. This is a good opportunity for the PLA.

I think a war involved in landing troops into Taiwan is a bad idea. If I am in charge, I would just bomb every military installations, presidential palace, all bunker and hideouts, and schools and call it a day. That is how the israel won the war. Most gaza and Lebanon leaders are dead without even stepping foot on the enemy's territory.
