One China | United States policy

• The United States did not explicitly state the sovereign status of Taiwan in the three US-PRC Joint Communiqués of 1972, 1979, and 1982.

• U.S. policy has not recognized the PRC’s sovereignty over Taiwan;
• U.S. policy has not recognized Taiwan as a sovereign country; and
• U.S. policy has considered Taiwan’s status as unsettled.
