Honest and naïve question, wouldn't you be afraid that the mainland Chinese government goes to war to take Taiwan back?
Or is this exaggeration from the western media and actually we are very far from a full scale invasion?

I'm not a strategist, and trying to stay as far as I can from politics, but unlike Russian invasion of Ukraine, where other countries utter strongly-worded sentences while buying as much Russian gas as they can get a hold of, Chinese invasion of Taiwan will not end well for China. Taiwan plays a vital role in semis, electronics, communication equipment. Nobody is particularly dependent on anything unique to China, on the contrary, China imports a lot of resources and food. Once this is cut off or made prohibitively expensive, China's economy will tank and the following social unrest will be unacceptable for the CCP.
