Why would China bomb Taiwan to Kingdom Come and then take over an island with ruined infrastructure?

China is NOT going to invade Taiwan.

It isn't about the island. It's about "face".

The only other option would be for Taiwan to surrender like France. If Taiwan fights like England or Japan did, the only option would be bomb them to Kingdom Come. I’m not talking nukes here.

You are so correct in this. As time passes, it will be clear that China has so much leverage over Taiwan in non-military means, there isn't a need to invade. Taiwan will simply be absorbed into China. Also, there are already citizens in Taiwan that want to unite with the mainland. It's a topic of debate in Taiwan. Not everyone in Taiwan is advocating independence. However, it isn't even an issue in China. 98% of the people in China want re-unification. They celebrated in the streets when Hong Kong was united with China. They will celebrate in China when Taiwan is also brought back in.
