Why the hell would they advertise this is beyond me...
My understanding is that some of the benefits China would get from invading Taiwan is the control of Taiwan's world-leading semiconductor industry. So making it public knowledge that any invading force (i.e. China) would not be able to take over their production capabilities is a small deterrent.
It's a small deterrent for China but a bigger incentive for other countries to defend Taiwan.
