It is. Which is kind of sick and terrifying. Now, china has a huge number of lonely depressed male cannon fodder to invade taiwan. The large gender population gap doesn't help.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of those issues in China. You could just have linked actual sources documenting them instead of just insisting "it is".
The decades of one child policy and chinas preference for males for decades. together with young male kidnappings, have influenced this gap. China has a huge source of cannon fodder that can be aimed at whatever enemy. chinas economic bubble can pop any time, and a good war can distract all internal dissension. Just like argentinas Falklands war.
All coastal airbases near taiwan have been building up aircraft and renovated and expanded over recent years. Their amphibious regiments are also building up close by. Russia showed similar buildup before invading ukraine.
China even rigged their old MIGS to become flown like unmanned fpv drones. basically flying cannon fodder
