All of these states need to be strong enough to be a credible deterrent to invasion on their own.
US support is neither speedy nor certain. And a speedy capitulation by Taiwan compromises the US's ability to help even if willing.

Parent's point was the TPP was explicitly designed to economically isolate China from its neighbors.
Trade deals are ugly.
But if your geopolitical goal is to prevent Asia from moving closer to China, you can, and we have, done worse than the TPP.

Yeah, and then Trump pulled out of TPP, and last year everyone signed this deal, including China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Comprehensive_Economi...
And people still celebrate Trump for being tough on China...

I personally oppose the TPP on the intellectual property grounds et al brought up here - but its purpose to contain china is what I was highlighting.
Biden has to repair our US hegemony. Trump sure hurt it a lot in spite of his anti-china rehtoric.
Selling weapons to taiwan doesn't contain china. We will send our own guns if a hot war is brewing there.
Taiwan recognition is not the same thing as meaningfully containing china. The TPP and asia pivot from obama was the last time that america seriously tried to restrain the rise of china.
