Actually it depends on whether the CPC is more scared of the US or more scared of its own citizens.
If the CPC is more scared of the US, and doesn't retake Taiwan, then I forsee a military coup. The top brass of the government and military is mostly cowards looking out for their own interest. In the face of a military coup by hawkish officers they will melt like butter. The CPC today is not the CPC of Mao, who was able to convince Chinese in Hong Kong and Malaysia to fight for communism without even 1 word. Today, can CPC do that? Can CPC even convince Taiwanese to come back?
Unfortunately, the fear of the US has become institutionalized in the CPC. Until the post 80's generation takes over this trend will continue.
