There is no evidence to suggest that China would be able to attain or maintain any semblance of air supremacy over Taiwan for any length of time unless the US wants it to.
But maybe its high time that the US disentangles itself from any Taiwan scenarios.The main concern should be the percolation of sensitive US technology to the chinese through taiwan.
Infact the US state dept site says..
Maintaining diplomatic relations with the P.R.C. has been recognized to be in the long-term interest of the United States by seven consecutive administrations; however, maintaining strong, unofficial relations with Taiwan also a major U.S. goal, in line with our desire to further peace and stability in Asia. In keeping with our one-China policy, the U.S. does not support Taiwan independence, but it does support Taiwan’s membership in appropriate international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, and the Asian Development Bank, where statehood is not a requirement for membership. In addition, the U.S. supports Taiwan’s meaningful participation in appropriate international organizations where its membership is not possible.
