Taiwan, well TSMC specifically, is world leading in the production of computer chips, and this matters enormously to the US, which is where most of the leading semiconductor companies are based.
The US Government is determined to ensure that China doesn't succeed in it's attempt to become a genuine rival to the US in semiconductor terms, so will support Taiwan militarily if required.
