Trump has campaigned against getting involved in foreign wars, and after the international (non)response to Russia invading the Crimea, I doubt China has a ton to fear, internationally speaking, from an invasion of Taiwan.

Though the trade war / embargo may happen regardless of any motions towards Taiwan.
