They're extremely careful not to state that as their plan.
In general, they make a huge effort not to talk about their plans vis-a-vis Taiwan at all. They just keep repeating that Taiwan is part of China.
The closest they come to stating that they plan to use force is that they'll sometimes say that they won't reject the use of force.
Given that nobody has proposed a scenario where China actually could do something like "take the IP by force" (since the IP would be gone if they ever tried to invade) and we can generally see that the Chinese leaders aren't complete idiots, it seems highly unlikely that they're planning an invasion any time soon.
If all it costs them were never having access to those chips again the chinese would've taken Taiwan already.
The chinese want to invade Taiwan because they think it's a rebel province, their only consideration is whether the US will oppose them militarily if they do.
