China Invasion of Taiwan (CCP vs Republic of China), will it start World War 3?

Taiwan logistically is an independent state of the original Republic of China, that was founded after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Communists seized mainland China following the first and second Sino-Japanese wars which weakened the Qing Dynasty (First), and ROC (Second). The fall of the Qing Dynasty happened in 1912, between the two Sino wars.
Xi's ultimate goal is to restore China to it's borders of the height of the Qing Dynasty, which included Taiwan.
Taiwan enjoys traditional Chinese culture blended with modern infrastructure and conveniences.
The "One China Policy" was an effort to satisfy the CCP, while still allowing Taiwan to exist in some autonomy.
Per usual, nothing is ever good enough for communists, and they always want more.
If China were to invade Taiwan to annex it, would we expect WW3 to break out?

I think Taiwan is screwed.
Biden has abandoned every ally and citizen in trouble since taking office.
I don't see him changing his MO now.
Of course the rest of the world doesn't need the US to fight - but I would be surprised if they did.

@Budwick If Biden were smart, he would do what we did at the beginning of World War 2, which is just produce and sell to foreign warring nations to inflate our GDP. That would kickstart our economy in full force and provide an incredible amount of manufacturing jobs. But he's not smart. He's a puppet.

The US would almost certainly go to war with the PRC. Very hard to say if it would escalate into a world war.
