>the US recognizes Taiwan as part of China This is false. The US has "acknowledged" the "One China" position of both sides of the Strait since the 1970s, but it has never supported the notion that Taiwan (and Kinmen, Taiping, etc.) is PRC territory or that the mainland is ROC territory. The feelings of Singaporean residents about the matter are not relevant to the discussion at all.
