The US could also secretly transport tactical nuclear weapons to Taiwanese airbases, then announce that Taiwan was now protected under a similar nuclear guarantee to Europe.

Any invasion triggers release of the devices into Taiwanese operational control.

US nuclear MRBMs were withdrawn from Italy and Turkey, and the US publicly committed to not invading Cuba.

That's a decent deal.
