No, but a flight of 20 or so PRC jets DIRECTLY over the home island should and probably will be shot down by Taiwan's top rate
Sky Bow.3. missiles.
To allow such provocations would only invite a further step by Emporer XI. He will push until someone pushes back.

With the Quad around, Taiwan should shoot those jets down.

I very much doubt that Taiwan has included any real assumption that the QUAD etc will in fact 'send in the marines' during a PLAN invasion attempt.
A few C17s full of re-loads may be possible, but I cannot see F35s going up 4 times a day to a BoB scenario over Taiwan. Or a full on Battle of Savo Island?
Taiwan will have plenty of notice that the invasion is probable and then certain over the preceding days and I expect that catching ships in port or planes lined up awaiting the PLAAF to visit is very unlikely.
The Taiwan military leadership are NOT stupid, and they have war-gamed every scenario at every invadable beach on Taiwan. Probably every ambitious Colonel wanting to be a General has done it over and over in his sleep!

I wonder if the Red Air Force will not bombard Taiwan first, to reduce the defences as the Germans tried in 1940 and the Allies did in 1943--44.
