First off, China wouldn't be re-absorbing Taiwan, the ROC is the original and the PRC is the communist spin-off.

Second, I would assume heavy heavy sanctions, no western nation to deal with China at all. Military force if foreign troops stationed in Taiwan were injured or killed.

The West can play the slow game with Taiwan because it's solely the CCP's problem and the current status quo is what the West wants.
