Even if taking Taiwan requires military conflict, I would think that China would prefer to have a decisive sea/air victory that makes a ground invasion more-or-less unnecessary. A blockade of Taiwan, followed by a military victory in which a US aircraft carrier is sunk, would probably mean the Chinese could land in Taiwan with little military resistance, right? That could be what Xi envisions as a peaceful reunification.
