Which existing defense treaty between the U.S. and Taiwan are you referring to? The website for the U.S. State Department states that the defense treaty had been terminated decades ago.
Taiwan
"Following de-recognition, the United States terminated its Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan. However, the United States has continued the sale of appropriate defensive military equipment to Taiwan in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act, which provides for such sales and which declares that peace and stability in the area are in U.S. interests. Sales of defensive military equipment are also consistent with the 1982 U.S.-P.R.C. Joint Communiqué."
Yes I should have left Taiwan out of the list. Japan, and South Korea
Don't expect the U.S. to sit on the sidelines though in any invasion attempt. Just as the U.S. will not sit on the sidelines in any serious attempt to destroy Israel. Even though we dont have a self defense treaty with them.
*The U.S. is interested though in peaceful reunification of Taiwan.
