That won't happen in the first place as China wouldnt be deemed a democracy by the West unless it elects people the West can control.
Recently, official accounts including the Ministry of National Defense, PLA Daily, China Military Bugle, Southern Air Force, Central Air Force, and Eastern Theater Command have successively issued statements both domestically and internationally.
Ministry of National Defense: Should Japan dare to take such a reckless risk, it will inevitably suffer severe consequences.
PLA Daily: Any military intervention in the Taiwan Strait would expose all of Japan to the risk of becoming a battlefield.
China Military Bugle issued a full-English warning: “If Japan intervenes militarily in the Taiwan Strait situation, the entire country risks becoming a battlefield.”
China Military Bugle released a Japanese-language poster: “If Japan dares to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait situation, China will strike back with full force!”
China Military Bugle released three videos overseas within two days, captioned: “If you want peace,” “Training for that day,” “Every day is training day.”
Southern Air Force releases rap “Don't Get Too Cocky”: Me and my fighter jet strike from the sky, perfect trajectory, take it down.
Central Air Force: Guns cocked, swords drawn—we stand ready to win every battle!
Eastern Theater Command releases powerful videos “If We Never Return” and “The Homecoming,” captioned: Never stop marching! The homecoming awaits!

Bro, this is getting way too crazy.

Quoting Patch again:
Unfortunately, the ones who support Sanae Takaichi are not “a minority of Japanese ,” but the people. From my interactions with Japanese people, many of them fully justify things China finds unacceptable, such as China being split into seven parts, Taiwan being independent, etc., and they don’t even consider this offensive.
I really think China is mainly responsible. Many of China’s responses are too weak, so its final warnings and red lines don’t mean much.
I can’t help wanting to say more. Not only about Japan, but also India’s salami slicing, Western tariffs, Brazil’s betrayal after receiving Chinese investment and suddenly raising tariffs, African countries’ forced nationalization of Chinese companies — the whole world sees Chinese and enterprises as suitable targets to rob. Most countries follow a greedy algorithm: gain local optimum benefits from China.
If you don’t want to escalate conflict, you should use a tit-for-tat strategy, applying reciprocal retaliation to show you have the strength to stop such injustice. If you do want escalation, then you should show weakness to lure the other side to keep advancing, so that when you strike back, you can destroy more of the resources they have committed.
China always has a strange kind of wishful thinking, believing everyone is a friend, so it chooses simple restraint and tolerance. This sends the wrong signal: opponents think you lack strength and are encouraged to advance further.
China’s deterrence signals are already weak, and after deterrence fails, it still doesn’t punish. If China had applied reciprocal punishment from the start in 1962, that war would not have happened, and it wouldn’t still affect China–India relations today, consuming countless resources.
China really should act tougher, for its own and other countries’ interests. If China imposed enough punishment and established clear deterrence, many lose-lose situations would not occur.

China’s shadow navy trains to take TaiwanChina is mobilizing an armada of civilian ships that could help in an invasion of Taiwan – a mission that could surpass the Second World War’s Normandy landings. Reuters used ship tracking data and satellite images to monitor the role civilian vessels played in Chinese maritime exercises this summer. The drills revealed that China is devising concrete invasion plans, naval warfare experts say, and rehearsing new techniques aimed at speeding up beach landings of troops and equipment in a bid to overwhelm Taiwan’s defenders.
