Taiwan is an independent democratic country that is not part of China. And most advanced chips (the ones in top iphones and macs) are manufactured there.

Unfortunately, the PRC is a lot bigger and might invade if the US recognized the obvious truth that Taiwan is an independent country.
They already throw tantrums over Taiwan for all kinds of silly reasons.
Then why not recognize Ukraine as part of Russia to avoid losing lives in Ukraine? Taiwanese lives > Freedom and Democracy > Ukraine lives?

Taiwan is the historic rightful government of China, subordinate only to the Mongolian Khanate (which also has suzerainty over Russia, conveniently). If we're talking about historic control that is, which certain hawks in the PRC and Russia seem inclined to do.
Long live the Khanate!
