Maybe, but Taiwan has a treaty with the US and other countries meaning it’d escalate out of the gate. Ukraine, sadly, had none.

Taiwan does not have any treaties with the United States, because the United States does not recognize Taiwan as a country, or have normal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, ever since the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979.
The US _did_ have a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, but it was terminated by the Taiwan Relations Act after the US initiated diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China on Jan 1st, 1979.
