Mainland China is about 100 miles away. Thats a damn long distance. Strictly from an engineering perspective, that would be incredibly impressive feat if they did it.
Did a quick search and it looks like the longest rail bridges now hit a max of roughly 1/4 what this Taiwan-to-China bridge would need to be.

They said they can do it. Never said how long it’ll stand after they do it.

True. But this would not be a cheap project if they legitimately attempted it, so they probably would want to keep the Chinesium quality to a minimum so it doesn’t fall apart after it’s first use.
