Because china is well, china. And the US hasn’t turned on Taiwan that’s largely lip service to Beijing, the US 7th Fleet is still there ready to sink any would be Chinese invasion across the Taiwan strait (probably they would anyways). In practice the US maintains close diplomatic ties through the Taiwan Relations Act they just don’t refer to Taiwan as the republic of china
