China should be rebuked for deliberately distorting President Obamas words and U.S. policy, they said in an email to CNA. They added that, with the anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act fast approaching, a re-statement of U.S. policy in this regard would be well-timed. The experts added that U.S. policy differs greatly when it comes to Tibet and Taiwan, and Obama almost certainly did not lump the two together in his talks with the Chinese leader. With regard to Taiwan, several important documents that outline U.S. policy on cross-strait relations merely acknowledge but do not endorse Beijings one China position, they pointed out. The United States long-standing policy on the concept of one China has been purposefully vague, they said. Since the United Nations formally admitted the Peoples Republic of China in 1971, U.S. presidents have articulated a one China policy but have never recognized the PRCs claim over Taiwan nor recognized Taiwan as a sovereign state, they said. Ambiguity allows the United States to maintain a stable relationship with mainland China and to simultaneously support Taiwan as needed, they said
