20 years ago this wouldn't be an issue at all for Taiwan.
At his age and the people behind him, there is division in Taiwan and real deep division
With Hong Kong re-taken early by the Communists due to the great intel successes by the West (*inset laugh here), Taiwan will be the new linchpin, if the battle between communism and capitalism is going to ensure. I'm not so sure it is much of a battle now as much as a slow, grinding, startling victory for the communists, but I digress.
Aussies, Japanese and others are also watching the election results. The key that everyone should take with whom which candidate will support, was the massive sell off of the Yuan at 9pm when Trump was expanding his lead in the Blue Wall states.
There is a real division of nations and who they align with and trust. It may be the division across nations that we never though possible only 15 years ago.
Officially, President Tsai Ing-wen and her ruling government have insisted they feel confident in the future of U.S.-Taiwan relations regardless of whether Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeats President Donald Trump. At the time of publication, Biden holds a razor-thin lead over Trump and has gained ground in crucial swing states, which have not yet counted all ballots.
Public reaction to the election, however, has shown a Biden administration would have work to do before gaining the trust of skeptical Taiwanese who feel jilted by perceived slights by past Democratic administrations.
Many Taiwanese are not overly fond of Trump as a president, but they’ve grown comfortable with his administration’s friendliness toward Taiwan and its cultivation of an image of being tough on China.

As Taiwan Watches US Election, It May Need Time to Trust a Biden Administration
Joe Biden projects as a strong supporter of Taiwan should he win the presidency, but people in Taiwan still feel jilted by perceived slights by past Democratic administrations.
