The US recognizes Taiwan as part of China since the 70’s though its position is quite ambiguous! I found this document by the US congress that explains the history behind the rather bizarre situation Taiwan finds itself today: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12503 https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12503
- maxloh 9mo agoNope. The US One China Policy (not to be confused with China's One China Principle) only "acknowledges" China's claim over Taiwan. The wording is intended to be vague so that each side can interpret the meaning according to their own interests (like China claiming "acknowledge" actually means "recognize").
- brabel 9mo agoYou're agreeing with what I said. "Acknowledges" can be understood as "recognizes" but like I said, it's ambiguous intentionally (as you agreed).
- maxloh 9mo ago> The US recognizes Taiwan as part of China ... though its position is quite ambiguous! I wouldn't describe that position using the word "recognize". It is more accurate to use the official term "acknowledge" instead.
