China would have great difficulty landing troops in Taiwan as long as the US Navy is present.

They're not going to wade ashore like MacArthur in the Philippines or in some kind of D-Day recreation. They're going to slip into the country in small groups or come aboard commercial container ships, of which dozens transit the Straits of Taiwan every hour.

When the actual invasion comes, they'll first act to suppress Taiwan's air defenses, then drop troops in via air (paratroops or via airports).
