Us official policy has always been strategic ambiguity. It's why they contradict themselves over Taiwan on a regular basis. The whole point is to get China to second guess themselves.
In any case, regardless of how we may feel about China, Taiwan is literally not an independent nation and never has been. They're just being used as a yet another pawn in American Hegemonic ambitions. It'd be like if the roles were reversed and China kept pretending like Hawaii or Puerto Rico was its own separate polity despite literally everyone else in the world denying that being the case, even those states themselves. The deepstate loves having the Taiwan card in case they ever feel like committing to WW3.
