They really do have a golden opportunity. Most countries are dependent on them for trade, the US military is drifting wildly, China has just demonstrated that they can influence oil markets far greater than anyone else, and China is are the point were if they don't take it in the next few years that they might not have the chance ever again.
There is a chance that China make a move and nobody comes to defend Taiwan because they know the alternative is worse for themselves.
