Yes. In fact, the Chinese would encourage it, so that US forces would
be split between defending South Korea and defending Taiwan.
I would expect the US response to a two-pronged attack like that would be offensive, not defensive. We may not hit Beijing, but Pyongyang and many Chinese cities seem more than apt.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
