It's not US policy to use nukes to defend any country outside the declared US Nuclear Umbrella[1][2]; ie NATO Countries, South Korea, Japan and Australia.

The US (non-nuclear) defence policy on Taiwan is deliberately ambigious, and the US has no defense treaty (beyond arms sales) with Taiwan.

To quote Wikipedia[3]:

"The Taiwan Relations Act does not guarantee the USA will intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan... America's policy has been called "strategic ambiguity" and it is designed to dissuade Taiwan from a unilateral declaration of independence, and to dissuade the PRC from unilaterally unifying Taiwan with the PRC."

FYI: Chen Shuibian has proclaimed independence like 10 times during his tenure, yet nobody even blinked.

This act is bull\w{4}, like many other defence treaties. The final word is always behind the executive power everywhere, and whether they have balls to go to war.
