Taiwan is just a province of China, not a major power at all, and it's only 200 km away from mainland China. Recently, Taiwan held its most advanced military drill, called Hanguang 40, using WWII-era weapons for its tanks and artillery. It’s completely unrealistic for them to fight the PLA. The only reason mainland China hasn't used force to reunify Taiwan is because Xi doesn't want to; there is absolutely no military difficulty for the mainland to take over Taiwan by force, even with U.S. military intervention.
Seoul is only 60 km away from North Korea, and more than 50% of South Korea's GDP is generated in Seoul. In the event of a war—whether the U.S. intervenes or not—South Korea would be devastated, and North Korea might be as well. There would be no winner in such a war.
India should focus on its own issues rather than others. The key issue with China, South Tibet, will never be resolved peacefully. I bet 99.9999% of Indians would never agree to hand it back to China peacefully, so the only remaining option is military action, sooner or later.
