Only if they absolutely need it. Nobody would spoil an asset like that. Maybe they would turn off mobile in Taiwan if they control their network. I didn't check which technology provider they use.
No mobile network can be an inconvenience but who has to respond will have the means to communicate no matter what. Furthermore every single common person will feel a personal level of danger and they won't simply shrug about the destiny of a remote island somewhere on the map.

I don't think it would permanently spoil anything. China would just stop the phone network from being used to coordinate a response.

The people we are talking about live in Taiwan, so Taiwan is not a remote island for them.
