Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

I was just talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that the conditions for China to invade Taiwan will be optimal in three weeks based on the ocean conditions and ship movements.
I said even if Trump wants to be the “president of peace” and avoid interfering, the generals wouldn’t allow the inaction. I think my exact words were, “he would have to fire them all in the next two weeks.”
One absolutely doesn’t prepare such a large operation at such a short notice.
For an intelligence analyst, signs of an invasion are typically detectable 3 months ahead. If one performs a maritime invasion at a notice of weeks, failure is likely. (For reference, the D-Day needed years of planning and months of moving resources to work.)
Also, I trust that Taiwan has infiltrated China just as deeply as China has infiltrated Taiwan - they likely cannot keep massive secrets from each other.
You assume they haven’t already been planning for months, or years.
