It is small, but the island is loaded up with our tech and weapons systems. They have a significant air-force and missile defense system, and their 290,000 military force is all defending the island, not stationed anywhere else. It would take more than just a few days to take Taiwan, likely months, and China would suffer heavy casualties in the end. War Scenarios place the take over at lasting anywhere from 3 to 6 months without allied aid to Taiwan. Not something that could be a simple false flag event.
