For the bulk of the cold war, the US tried to recognize Nationalist China as the real China, due to General Chang Kai Shek and his wife and the historical friendship the US had with them from WWII.
But upon their deaths, as well as the Vietnam War, Red China soon evolved over time to be recognized, because of the negotiations that had to be done (extracting ourselves out of the war & getting our POWs returned). Nixon's visit to Communist China did alot to bring recognition to that nation. After all, just showing up there, demonstrated that the country existed.

Why did china refuse to accept Taiwan as an independent nation?
If Taiwan were to take the gamble and cross that line, the argument goes, it will have moved closer to "de jure independence," or legal separation from the mainland, and Beijing would have little choice but to engage it militarily. And yet, Taiwan has repeatedly "declared" its independence ever since the island's process of democratization began at the end of the last century.
The USSR did not vote to defend South Korea because?
I think you mean the voting in the UN Security Counsil. The Soviet Union was boycotting the security counsil since January 1950. This is because of the ' Taiwan-issue'. When China became a communist state in 1949 after the Chinese Civil War, the Chinese (non-communist) government retreated towards Taiwan (an island close to China). They maintained the ' Republic of China' government but had no formal power over China anymore. The UN chose to not include the (communist) People's Republic of China in the UN Security Counsil but included the Republic of China instead. The USSR were angry about this and boycotted the Security Counsil. So, when the decision had to be made about defending South Korea in June 1950, the Soviets couldn't vote because of the boycot. I hope this answered your question.
