The issue of Mongolian independence was left ambiguous by the USSR and China (this includes the PRC and ROC -- they both technically claim it). Mongolia had at one point petitioned to join the USSR but was actually rejected. The status of Mongolia was a bargaining chip the USSR used with the PRC and China never really completely relinquished its claim on it (whether that claim is legit is another issue)

The ROC did at least until the 60s, but they changed position around 2002. The ROC technically recognized the independent Mongolia in 1946 after some pressure from the Soviets, though they backpedaled on that and blocked Mongolia admission into the UN in the 50s. Taiwan certainly recognizes Mongolia since 2002 at least. They have good relation. The PRC has good enough relations with Mongolia since mid 80s.
