The main problem for China would be international condemnation and trade sanctions.
The western world imposing trade sanctions would seriously hit China, and would put an end to a lot of it's global ambitions.
Taiwan would also be no push over, it has regular and reserve armed forces totaling 1.8 million and they have some western armaments, and there would be heavy casualties on both sides as a result, whilst other nations such as the US could be drawn in to the conflict.
The invasion of Taiwan would be a stupid thing for China to do, both in terms of global relations, trade and even of starting a potential global conflict.
