Actually a modern cruise missile have about 80% accuracy (compared to tomahawk), and can hit within 5 meters of accuracy, so the 1 or 2 out of 6 is probably the ones that makes it out of the air defences net. The point on deployment rate sounds accurate, as in I can’t find data against that. The stuff about landing troops sounds accurate at least up to WW2 US plans on invasion of a Japanese occupied Taiwan. No further comments on air superiority capabilities on both sides. Hopefully we don’t get WW3 within a decade, or another Great Depression.

while Chinese missiles with their "military performance" aiming for proclaimed area has a failure rate of 7/9, 5 missiles landed in Japanese economic sea zone, 2 missing on the radar from both countries. 80% accuracy? hehe

Don't forget, even IF (and that's a big IF) China somehow manages air superiority, sea superiority, successful landing, take over all of Taiwan, and weather all the major economical sanctions that will undoubtedly come their way, they still have the unenviable task of holding on to a territory with roughly 18 million hostile inhabitants (I'm assuming about 80% of the population do not welcome PRC, and according to recent polls it's actually even higher, but I'll be conservative in my estimates). You need roughly 1 soldier to 50 civilians if you want to hold largely "friendly" territory, so even in PRC's best case scenario, they would need 900,000+ soldiers actively deployed in Taiwan to hold it. This is something almost every nation (including the US, repeatedly) has failed at in modern history.

you also need to considerate that aren't all missile could successfully fire, even without any disturbance the success rate of fire itself won't be 100%, though I too still think that 1 out of 6 might be to optimistic

By using Japanese “occupied” to describe is not accurate. China even had a consulate in Taihoku in 1930s before Sino Japanese War.
