Taiwan and the citizens prefer status quo over conflict, where status quo would have been no visits at this time. They've been forced into a tough position where congress members are visiting and with Taiwan's close ties to the US, wouldn't be a good look to ask them to not come. As someone mentioned, Taiwan and their people are just being used as pawns for American presence in Asia.
