Just a few ideas...Taiwan serves as an aircraft base, naval port, and general rest and resupply base for primarily US forces, who probably greatly outnumber the Taiwanese forces on the island at that point. They also receive a good amount of military aid (the Taiwanese have always had a wish list of American weapons and equipment that the US has been withholding from Taiwan due to political considerations).
The Taiwanese (and US) fight Russian aircraft and shipping, at the urging of the US. The Taiwanese do not commit any troops to the conflict, keeping them for home defense. After the Twilight War (well after the Twilight War, like in the 2020's at least), the US brokers talks that bring Taiwan into the rest of China, with "special considerations and systems" like China gives to Hong Kong. This is in recognition for their service in the Sino-Russian part of the Twilight War.
