The position of the United States, as clarified in the China/Taiwan: Evolution of the "One China" Policy report of the Congressional Research Service (date: July 9, 2007) is summed up in five points:
The United States did not explicitly state the sovereign status of Taiwan in the three US-PRC Joint Communiques of 1972, 1979, and 1982.
The United States "acknowledged" the "One China" position of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
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 undetermined. U.S. policy has considered Taiwan's status as unsettled.
These positions remained unchanged in a 2013 report of the Congressional Research Service.[34]
回複 '阿留' 的評論 :
阿留兄請參考一下acknowledge和agree的區別：Acknowledging something is to accept the truth while agreement is to have the same opinion of something.
堅持用中文的“承認”，並且篡改上下文，就是要把“同意、讚同”的意思塞到別人嘴裏。
聯想起雍正在批複臣下奏折時習慣用“朕知道了”，這事是不是挺可樂？

多謝侃兄點評！好問題。英語裏acknowledge的程度大致介於recognize和realize之間，還真不好翻譯。也許直接翻譯成“知道”更貼近願意。公報裏說的是recognize the position of...，知道TG的某某立場，或者承認知道TG的某某立場，而不是讚同這一立場。公報的中文版本沒有體現出這一點，籠統說“中國”，好像“中國”=PRC，其實非也。
USA has never considered China as a friend, and USA always sees China as a competitor. Understanding this, it will be easy to understand why this is bull shit policy to the most of Chinese.
