The big problem for Taiwan is it will be the first victim of any aggression on China's part. If the US starts causing problems and annoys China, they might just decide to invade.
The last thing the PRC wants is for the ROC to develop close relationships with a great power. Military invasion is a serious threat, but if the US in particular had formal relationships with Taiwan, then the PRC would play scorched earth on the American economy. You cannot forget how dependent Americans are on China.
