Probably because of the shit China would be forced to do in response.

Instead they just park a carrier group nearby as don't say they are there to observe. We all know what will actually happen, but its not been said so China can save face.

It's a bit more than that as Taiwan officially claims to be China. To claim Taiwan is independent is to sign Taiwan up for a lot of problems because they go from being the government the people's republic of china overthrew to insurrectionists.

Word it the other way, “we’re the official country we’ve always been, but if those upstarts on the mainland want to secede then fine, we’ll let them”

Either way it’s just propaganda phrasing.
