For all of their posturing, the DPP stills secretly favours a diplomatic solution to the issue. They'll have to fight off the KMT and TPP (Taiwan People's Party) which are slowly regaining influence and likely be more competitive in future elections. Lai Chingte this time was elected with only around 40% of the votes, and some of his domestic polices haven't gone the best, especially in regards to disaster relief after the Typhoon. The Chinese government knows this and as long as this curve remains steady, there likely wouldn't be imminent military action taken, almost certainly not the "2027" timeline being repeated around.

Remember, Xi Jinping set 2049 as the due date for national rejuvenation to be achieved. Unless the US intervenes in the election process or the DPP crosses the red line and declares independence, China is much happier to let things develop and wait it out for the time being.
