By rising the pressure on Russia the US basically throws Taiwan under the bus by giving more power to China and freeing their hands to do anything they want.
Even the US cannot afford to fight with every superpower at the same time, and here you have to compromise. The States locked themselves up with the Russia-Ukraine situation that they have right now no way out rather than increasing the pressure by placing more and more sanctions and heating up the rethoric against Russia.
At the same time to make the sanctions work they wish China to at least somehow cooperate, or their restrictive measures have no effect: the Russians will just shift to the East and substitute all lost opportunities in trade with the US by China.
Well, to have China on their side the US has to give them something very valuable. OK on invading Taiwan is probably the only thing that China will take. The rest they have in abundance themselves.
