In my nearly 20-year-old Taiwan invasion scenario post, I figured China would fire a cyber shot across the bow against the West:
The Chinese should also initiate cyberwarfare against Taiwan on a massive and continuing scale and small attacks against the US, Japan, and European countries that end within a few hours.
