edit: Taiwan being part of China is the official position of the UN, and vast majority of countries in this world including the US. It's also the fundamental basis for having diplomatic relations between US and China per Potsdam Proclamation that was signed 77 years ago between China, the US & the UK. This position has never officially changed.

Here's what US state department has to say on their official site:

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.

These are the basic facts of the situation. Not sure what people are downvoting here.

Not to mention that most Taiwanese do not support "Taiwanese Independence". To bring it up is just begging for WW3 for no real reason.

It's not like the west actually gives a shit about people in Taiwan, they're just pawns to be used and thrown away the same way as Ukrainians were.
