Yes. That's a big part of it.

The next Chinese Party Congress is in 2027. 

It's possible that something could happen before then to make Xi thinks he needs 
to get the nation behind him and look for a big win. 

But in the age of long range and intermediate missiles, a land invasion of Taiwan would be a terrible risk 
for Xi and the Party on a number of levels.

"Terrible risk" has not stopped many dictators in the past, but Xi is still accountable to
his party, unlike dictators like Saddam, and much more so than Kim Jong Un.
