Obviously no good can come of this domestically, but since all the Generals will be there instead of doing their jobs, it would also be a window of opportunity for China to invade Taiwan.
Since Japan is widely expected to enter into such a conflict, there’s strong speculation that any attack on Taiwan would be preceded by a first strike against Japan and US forces there.
Highly unlikely. Neither the US or Japan are guaranteed to act in Taiwan’s favour. Especially in a borderline situation. If the CCP has strategy (and it usually does), it will push limits and borderline situations.

You know US personnel isn’t stationed on Taiwan (but pacific bases hours away like Okinawa) and there is such a thing as chain of command.
