It also results in destroying the trust of Taiwan’s partners: seeing this as an American,

Fuck off! Seeing this as an American my response is that the US government needs to fuck off and stop interfering as if it's any of our business.

you can only conclude that you must operate under the assumption that any exchange of classified materials, operational details, or strategic assessments with the government in Taiwan will be on Xi Jinping's desk before the meeting ends. It effectively neutralizes any meaningful defense cooperation.

US: "We want to put missles on an island right next to you."

PRC: "We don't want you to do that. Especially since you've threatened to nuke us before and have historically done things like this to prepare for am invasion."

US: "China's not allowing our mutual defensive cooperation!"

PRC: "you basically fund and puppeteer the DPP to do your bidding even at the expense of average Taiwan residents."

US: "We are going to bomb every Taiwanese semiconductor factory and plunge the global economy into ruin for our political aims!"

PRC: "..."

PRC: "you still want to buy the MAGA hats?"

US: "Hell yeah brother!"
