Can China really unify Taiwan peacefully?

China has always talked about peaceful development, which has been questioned as hypocrisy. At the moment when Russia is raging over its reunification of Ukraine, U.S. weapons are constantly being shipped to Taiwan, but China is still talking about peaceful reunification. So can China's peaceful reunification really be realized?
Pelosi visited Taiwan on August 22, 2022. As the leader of the House of Representatives of the world's largest country, this move was without the permission of the Chinese central government. From a Chinese perspective, it violated the diplomatic rights of the Chinese central government. In response, China held a comprehensive military exercise across the central line of the strait. The missile crossed over Taiwan, proving China's ownership of Taiwan with its military presence. Since then, the Chinese military has carried out regular patrols around Taiwan to consolidate its military presence. The balloon flew over Taiwan, and the scientific research ship even entered 3 nautical miles away from Taiwan.
On February 14, 2023, a Taiwan Coast Guard ship overturned a mainland fishing boat and killed two people. A US military team stationed in Kinmen, Taiwan. In response, mainland Coast Guard ships began regular patrols in Taiwan waters and boarded Taiwan merchant ships to inspect them.
In this battle for reunification and independence, Taiwan and the United States emphasize ideology. The United States neither wants to lose the benefits of buying bonds from the mainland, nor does it want to lose the benefits of selling weapons to Taiwan and collecting protection fees. Maintaining the current status quo and receiving benefits from both sides is obviously the most beneficial to the United States. For the mainland, Taiwan is close at hand, and non-unification can also serve as an objective opening window. How to achieve peaceful reunification in the context of different ideologies is a great challenge.
The U.S. side emphasizes pursuing Taiwan independence through ideology, revising textbooks, gradually moving towards legal Taiwan independence, constantly increasing its force, creating a hedgehog Taiwan, and achieving gradual Taiwan independence. For the mainland, it is increasingly inclined to use the Diaoyu Islands model to perform reverse sausage slicing. It continues to tighten military and coast guard patrols against Taiwan from the center line of the strait until it breaks through 12 nautical miles, and uses its military and law enforcement presence to influence the awareness of the people on the island. It is in line with mainland China’s official materialist stance. If there is a military and law enforcement conflict between the two sides during this process, it will be a small-scale domestic law enforcement conflict, and the United States will have no excuse to intervene.
So is it the ideology that seeks independence that wins, or the law enforcement presence that wins the final victory? Can China really unify Taiwan peacefully? We'll see.
