Sorry GST, but ambiguity is at the heart of US China policy. For years, the formal name given to US policy was "Strategic Ambiguity." Google the term along with China and Taiwan and see what you come up with.

Your misplaced certainty shows that the policy worked. The US has never, ever said that Taiwan is part of China. Instead, Washington has repeatedly "acknowledged" that "Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait agree that there is "one China" and that Taiwan is part of China. That ceased being true in 1999, and is less true every day.
