Nope. 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").


You're agreeing with what I said. "Acknowledges" can be understood as "recognizes" but like I said, it's ambiguous intentionally (as you agreed).


> 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.
