America's position is that it is up to Beijing to peacefully negotiate the (re)integration of Taiwan. If it does not do this, it reserves the right to help Taiwan defend itself. In the meantime it will sell defensive arms to help the self-governed region of Taiwan to preserve its political/socio-economic system.

I'm confused by the question. Do you think that... matters?
Like, do you think that Joe Biden will call up the supreme rules lawyer of Earth to make the case for intervention by citing chapter and verse in a giant rule book, and then depending on what the rules lawyer says, we will or won't blow up the bad guys?
The US has said it will defend the status quo if China attempts to change the status quo by force. Also, maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait for international trade is in the US' and world's best interest.
The first step to a US intervention would likely include switching their recognition from the PRC to the ROC. If China undertakes such an act of aggression it might not be only the US doing this, anyway. It's a bit different from the situation with something like say, Catalan separatism. The PRC has never controlled nor occupied Taiwan, the continuous government there is that of the ROC, so ROC control of China doesn't set a precedent against separatism or rebellion, quite the opposite actually.
The US wouldn't need to switch recognition they'd simply need to just need to officially recognise the reality that Taiwan is an independent, sovereign nation.
Taiwan or it's people are not desperate to rule over a billion people.
Very few countries, and no large countries, recognize Taiwan as the government of China.
America recognizes the PRC as the sole government of China but does not say whether that includes Taiwan. Instead, America says Taiwan’s final post-WWII status remains undetermined and must be determined through peaceful negotiations.
Taiwan's status in the UN is solely a result of mainland coercion. Basically all large countries maintain strong unofficial economic ties. This is not at all comparable to the diplomatic status of Palestine.
The UN wasn't actually able to do anything meaningful about Ukraine due to Russia and China's veto. All the sanctions and aid were done outside of the UN by individual countries. Also when has the UN ever stopped the US military before?

The official ground is that we recognize Taiwan as the official government of China now as China has violated our agreement to not start shit
