So silly.
Literally nothing we're willing to do will stop China from invading Taiwan and winning. We don't have the stomach for that fight. And Chinese sabotage would bring our country to a standstill even if we did.
If Taiwan actually cares about avoiding China's yoke they need to develop, deploy, and be ready to use hundreds of nuclear weapons. Including second strike capability.
If they don't care about defending their own freedom, why should we? Under Trump, we abandon allies we've had for a century, even the White ones. Taiwan clearly can't rely upon us.
