The People's Republic of China is a Communist government. The US was completely opposed to communism. It supported the Nationalists, which is Taiwan, so it didn't recognize the People's Republic as the true government.
The US switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 1979 following the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations. This move was part of the US government's effort to recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China.
That depends upon the viewpoint of the people talking about it. Taiwan is part of China instead of an independent country. According to the statement of the U.S., "THE US DOES NOT RECOGNIZE TAIWAN AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY. Furthermore, the US does recognize Taiwan as part of China." China has "Anti-Secession Law", which states that mainland China and Taiwan belong to one China and that there is only one China and that the sovereignty of that one China is indivisible. What's more, many countries and the U.N. recognize that Taiwan is part of China and there is one China in the World. For the above reasons, Taiwan is a part of China. The people on Taiwan don't fully agree with that viewpoint and it is still a source of political friction.
Taiwan broke away from China. If the US recognizes Taiwan, then that would get China upset with the US. China owns the United States. Better not bite the hand that feeds you. Insert mode Insert mode
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.

Obviously war with Taiwan itself, but then also with countries which would seek to defend Taiwan. The US Government has indicated it would do this.
You better register the marriage at the nearest US mission in the country where you are getting married to avoid the risk that the US government may not recognize marriage certificate from that specific country.
Taiwan is 36,008 km2 (but also claims the country of China which is 9,640,821 km2). the US is 9,826,675 km2. Meaning Taiwan would fit into the US almost 273 times.
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.
