Which one Most likely CCP will do first, Taiwan invasion or 9 dash line adventure Southern Chinese Sea?
Taiwan invasion definitely. They have a strong incentive for that because uniting China has always been CCP's (and historical dynasties) main priority since the founding of PRC. While nine-dash line claim is merely a geopolitical interest for expanding their power.

What we can be sure of is that it's impossible for PRC to press SCS claim without conquering Taiwan, because Taiwan will surely be used as a US base of operation if they do invade the south. So leaving Taiwan unannexed, will leave China open for the US maneuvering in their front door. And because Taiwan also claims SCS, PRC legitimacy will be challenged if they didn't incorporate Taiwan first, providing the US and allies all the more reason to defend Taiwan.

The conclusion is that China would not invade the south if they haven't conquered Taiwan, so conquer Taiwan first, only after that SCS and ASEAN countries. While at the same time if we assume they are busy with Taiwan, occupying themselves with Taiwan affairs will draw their attention away from SCS, buying time for ASEAN to prepare against or negotiate with China.

Taiwan invasion definitely.
“Invade Taiwan? there is no country called Taiwan or Republic of China, yourselves not even recognized a country called Republic of China or Taiwan or whatever its called”, said PRC representative in UN headquarter. Very easy to make the whole world kicep. Legally, Chinese would win since Taiwan is only considered as its own country, de facto, not de jure by many countries.

The first thing is to recognize Taiwan. US, UK, EU and other likeminded countries need to make joint plan for that, including possible Chinese reactions to that.

You could say that they are doing a "special military operation" in "Taiwan province" and are "fighting separatists" there.

"Taiwan is not a country" is PRC rhetorics of their de jure claim. But certainly, de facto control is in the hands of ROC. They are currently trying diplomatically to sway the world to recognize their de jure claim over Taiwan island, that there is only 1 China all along, and only after that, they will launch a unification campaign to overthrow the ROC government.

Uniting China is a very important thing since eternity in their history, it explains the "PRC dynasty" obsession with eliminating all opposition towards complete control of all China. So any Chinese territory not yet controlled by the ONE dynasty ruling Mainland China MUST eventually be conquered.

If it is conventional war or confrontation, Japan had more higher chance to obliterated Russian Pasific fleets along with their land based military garison on Pacific coasts. Those high performance fighter, Destroyer, hundreds ASW Aircraft and helicopters, two aircraft carrier (izumo class) is Japan ultimate defence guarantee in the region.

Well, Japanese government is not brainless idiot who Goes to the war over barren Islands with minimum population and resources. Northern four Islands doesn't give potential high security threat or vice versa, opportunity to Japan. And with such condition as prefix, that's near impossible for Japan to Wage war against Russia to grab the territory, Period.

The only thing they would do is to increasing the sanction toward Russian, giving more assistance toward Russian enemies like Ukraine and many other (Georgia, FSA, Chechen Rebels and so on) and let the Russian brought to the knee by themselves and asking for Japanese "aid" someday with all the negotiation accompanied it. Playing on patience games is one of the Japanese leadership virtue they had until now.
