People are upset because Taiwan doesn't want to be part of China anymore but they don't have the strength to break away. America cares because the vast majority of our computer chips and other electronics are made there and we like the idea of having an ally so close to China.

Unfortunately for Taiwan China won't allow them to break away and America can't do anything about it. If America were to give them missles or other weapons, China would immediately attack and America doesn't want any part of that.
