I mean, if you want to go there, Taiwan is a remnant of the Chinese Civil War, and has no reason to be protected by other countries.
It'd be like if the Confederacy decided they didn't lose, fled to fucking Hawaii and called that "Confederate America."
The only reason the US is involved is because the economy is far too deeply tied to TSMC, thanks to piece of shit companies like Intel shoving all their development costs over there.

No one's protecting Taiwan for any moral reason, or 'democracy', you dumbshit. It's all about geopolitics: it is a strategic territory that they do not want China to get its hands on.

They would if they could, and did not have extensive land possessions in the US. But obviously, there was no Hawai'i back then.
The difference was also that the Chinese communists were intent on killing everyone on the other side, while the Union just wanted to bring them to heel and get rid of slavery.

You really should have people pay for your brilliant political analysis.
I'm right though. The lack of investment in semiconductors from other countries and those manufactured in the US gives TSMC a way higher priority than it has any right to have. Leftists used to call Iraq an oil war, Taiwan is a chip war.
Biden finally passed a bill to have semiconductor manufacturing in America, and guess who gets the money? TSMC! They're building a plant in Arizona, to have even deeper ties to the economic health of America.
Taiwan literally has a clause for minimum female representation in government in their constitution.
It also no doubt protects free speech. Must be a war for free speech. Nothing to do with geopolitics.
