Probably because of the shit China would be forced to do in response.
Instead they just park a carrier group nearby as don't say they are there to observe. We all know what will actually happen, but its not been said so China can save face.
It's a bit more than that as Taiwan officially claims to be China. To claim Taiwan is independent is to sign Taiwan up for a lot of problems because they go from being the government the people's republic of china overthrew to insurrectionists.
Ah you're right, Taiwan wouldn't be independent, because in the case of a Chinese attempt at occupation, the U.S. would swoop in and occupy it themselves "liberate" them.
Doubt it, the companies would just blow the chip plants. There are already chip fabrication plants being built all around the world because of the situation, but there's basically no way TSMC is letting the CCP seize their fabs. They already have plans in place to destroy everything needed for fabrication, which is probably part of the reason China hasn't invaded.

Word it the other way, “we’re the official country we’ve always been, but if those upstarts on the mainland want to secede then fine, we’ll let them”
Either way it’s just propaganda phrasing.
Taiwan doesn't even officially support Taiwan independence. It would be rather unusual for a US President to say that before they do.
Former occupiers? Who do you think make up the current majority ethnic group on the island?
Where do you think they came from?
When do you think they came over?
Do you think the indigenous people are the majority ethnic group? Do you think they have much power politically?
Taiwan has all the best semiconductor stuff no way that America would give it up. This is just lip service. America has aircraft carriers near Taiwan at all times.
Don't take America seriously when it comes to speech. Look at their actions and forget the words.

That’s not what’s happening.
