Taiwan is not recognized as a sovereign state because it is legally still a part of Japanese territory and is currently under U.S. military control.
No, Taiwan (The Republic of China or ROC) is not a communist nation, it has been democratic since the 1980's when it moved away from being a single-party state. While China (The Peoples Republic of China or PRC) maintains claim of the island nation, it is recognized by 23 of the world's 203 sovereign nations as a sovereign entity.
When the People's Republic of China was established on the Chinese mainland in 1949, Chinese nationalists fled to the island of Taiwan. Since that occurrence, there has been a dispute over whether Taiwan is part of China or a separate, sovereign country.
Taiwan is not called Chinese Taipei, except for participation during the Olympic Games. Otherwise, it's still known as Taiwan. The name Chinese Taipei is being used because China doesn't want Taiwan to participate as a sovereign country, and the name Chinese Taipei satisfy the Chinese authority because it alludes to Taiwan being part of China.

The People's Republic of China (Mainland) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) are sovereign nations and are therefore not territories of the United States of America.
Out of the 195 internationally recognized countries of the world, only 3 are not members of the UN: Taiwan, Kosovo (both not being recognized as sovereign states by some countries) and the Holy See (the Vatican). Palestine is neither a member, nor internationally recognized as a sovereign state as of yet.
There are several countries that claim independence but do not have enough recognition to qualify as sovereign:AbkhaziaKosovo*Nagorno-KarabakhNorthern CyprusPalestine*Sahrawi Arab Democratic RepublicSomalilandSouth OssetiaTaiwan*Transnistria- Kosovo* ~Kosovo is recognized by all Western nations with the exception of Spain and the Holy See. Many island nations, a few Latin American nations, a number of African nations, and a few Asian countries.- Palestine* ~Palestine does have enough recognition to become a sovereign nation and have tried to gain sovereign status. However, most Western nations do not recognize Palestine, but instead, Israel (especially the US, who has just immensely strengthened their ties with Israel). When Palestine bids for statehood in the UN, the US vetoes the bill, making the country unable to become sovereign.- Taiwan* ~Taiwan claims China while China claims Taiwan. There is sort of this agreement that a country must recognize either Taiwan or China, not both. China will not trade or have foreign relations with any country that recognizes Taiwan in addition to China. This is why many nations recognize China instead of Taiwan. In fact, many countries used to recognize Taiwan, but within the last half of the 20th century dropped their recognition to support China.Look at the links below for status of recognition.
