I think that Taiwan would be one of the very last places that a crumbling US would cut ties with, just as a "fuck you" to the PRC. If things continued to destabilize (I don't think it will get quite so far in our lifetimes, but who knows), Taiwan might reorient themselves toward the PRC, but there would probably need to be a catalyst.
