US recognized that Taiwan was part of China 50 years ago.
But then created a policy of 'strategic uncertainty' meaning they might protect Taiwan if violence were used for assimilation.
New proposed law would make turn this into strategic certainty, in effect, making Taiwan a defacto NATO member.
This is very much like what was done with Ukraine, and led to war with Russia. Although, unlike Ukraine, the US recognized (as does the world) that Taiwan is part of China. So it's even worse.
When empires take great interest in the fate of islands and other features near geopolitical rivals, it's not because of their concern for human rights.
Taiwan has been used as a base for foreign invaders of China many times before.
