Thrust to weight is not in its favor, nor is the radar range, which supposedly is only 60 KM lookup for detection. It is serviceable as a pint defense fighter and very advanced when it came out in the late 80s and for a long time the mainland didn’t have anything that matches it in performance.

Wrong. Su-27 / J-11 is vastly superior to F-CK-1. China got Su-27 in 1992. Taiwan didn't get F-CK-1 until 1994 two years later.

Nonsense.
Afghanistan hasn’t had a stable national government since the late 1970s when the Communist party of Afghanistan launched a revolution. That was followed by the Soviet invasion. Which was then put into a insurgency via forces from Pakistan whom received arms and aide from the US, PRC, and Arab states.
After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989. The Rump government remained until 1996 when the Taliban formed and were backed by the Pakistani ISI.
They managed to secure a majority of the capitals for a time but quickly that broke down with the formation of the Northern Alliance. That force and the Taliban formed along tribal and Clan lines.
The two stalemated until 9-11 when the Taliban turned down the demand for OBL and to close the AQ training camps. Which lead to the US intervention.
The US forces then Established a semblance of peace by holding the cities but the Taliban and AQ aided by the ISI and ISIS have remained a force in the nation and continued fighting for decades.
The Obama Administration began negotiating with the Taliban in hopes of getting a peace treaty those negotiations were finalized under the Trump administration and have been rushed despite clearly being idiotic by the Biden administration. Throughout this the Taliban has been fighting each other and the Afghan government. Once the Biden administration came in they elected to rush the withdrawal and end assistance to the ANA. With ANA forces retreating surrendering and the like quite regularly. The main point here being the reason.
Even in the early days of fighting it was made clear that the Tribe and the Clan were where the loyalty of Afghans lay.

The situation in the Taiwan strait is dramatically different. As despite Wang measuring. Taiwan has been a orderly government for decades.
Next in polling a majority of the population identified as Taiwanese not Chinese or both. This means that a mainland force would be viewed as an invader. Which means that you have a strong position for resistance. Farther you have recent comments by both the US and now Regional states voicing support for Taiwanese security vs the PRC.

Oh wow, and how many have voiced support for Afghan security? All that melted away like butter when the US just rug pulled them.

I bet the DPP elites have some sleepless nights from now on. Afghan victory (victory for the good guys btw) have tremendously raised the morale of all those who stand against the Evil Empire.
Seriously, China only has to try now. The US has shown themselves being more bark than bite.

Today Kabul, tomorrow Taipei.
