All you need is an equal or great number of destroyers to screen for the subs and use the spacey-enough 130km to protec your capital ships, which will be comfy as hec and well protected near your fortified mainland coast which'll have more sonars, radars, Lidars, sats, scopes, ships, planes, subs, destroyers protectin and scanning - then a good admiral would be lambasted if even 1 capital ship sinks.
The above scenario uses conventional naval tactics with existing and Known resources, and doesn't consider the cutting edge cyber attacks that China can field, nor the fact they likely have spies in the Taiwanese military who can forward intel and possibly disable ships.
Have you ever played a strategy game where you were a large empire next to a city state and got to both dictate the unfolding of war, but do so without another country declaring war on you in turn?
A good general could win with a tiny amount of casualties.
Two can, but good luck to the outnumbered foe whose only powerful allies (that haven't been defanged) are thousands of miles away somehow still running things in Israel.
What are they going to do, promise the Israeli elites computer chips for 1000 years if they nuke China?
Lol.
If you are surrounded by a superior force on all sides and lack the ability to demoralize, destroy or convince them to cease their attack, and they have the ability to demoralize, destroy and convince you to surrender, then defeat is inevitable, unless you can persuade another party to intervene on your behalf and help your morale and defence.
No help is coming, Taiwan will be annexed or Taiwan will surrender.
Btw, did you know 2/3 of Taiwan's food (for it's 23 million people) is imported? Are you aware Taiwan is an island? All China has to do is destroy its navy, air bases and rocket-launching capability, stay out of range of artillery and embargo until they surrender or the people Make their 'leaders' surrender.
Please remember China is itself completely surrounded by not necessarily friendly powers. The Japanese archipelago is full of both Japanese and American military. Air and naval bases in Philippines, Okinawa, Guam. Vietnam. The only thing the Chinese commies have been able to invade successfully is Tibet. If you want to go further back there are all kinds of examples of small numbers of people invading and occupying the whole of China. The Manchus managed it as did the Mongols despite being totally outnumbered.
Anyway, we'll soon find out who's going to do what. Let's wait and see.

Two can play at that game.

None of those countries will attack China, as they're not retarded and it's not in the interest of their people.
Also, it would still take every single one of them and a declaration of war+major asset relocation by US to stop China taking Taiwan.
+There's a difference between the Chinese Communist Party and the CCP
