Eh, I just checked the link and it still spells out that America recognize One China Policy
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
And also this line:
The United States will continue to support Taiwan’s membership in international organizations where statehood is not a requirement
Yeah but they removed the verbiage explicitly acknowledging China's government as the sole legal government of Taiwan, as well as the parts saying that Taiwan is part of China, and that the U.S. does not support Taiwan independence.
Yeah they say that the U.S. has "a long-standing One China policy" but that's like the Supreme Court justices saying that Roe V Wade was the law of the land and that they would uphold the law of the land.
It's saying, oh look we have this treaty that Nixon signed several decades ago, like a token nod to diplomacy that the U.S. has to do in order to keep doing business with China, while also packing in some ominous words about the Taiwan Strait and the "best interests" of Taiwan's people.

yeah this mystifies the language (making it less likely you get angry spluttering from rabid partisans) without actually changing much else
