edit: Taiwan being part of China is the official position of the UN, and vast majority of countries in this world including the US. It's also the fundamental basis for having diplomatic relations between US and China per Potsdam Proclamation that was signed 77 years ago between China, the US & the UK. This position has never officially changed.

Here's what US state department has to say on their official site:

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. 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. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.

These are the basic facts of the situation. Not sure what people are downvoting here.

And what does the US state department say on Palastine independence? I know that the US doesn't recognize it as a country, and if they don't recognize Palastine's sovereignty over its land then they must recognize it as part of Israel. Many Palestinians would like to be part of Israel, if not for better economic security. Both pseudo-countries have a lot of facts about them the same.

As for Taiwan, back in the day they claimed to be the "real China", and forced the UN to only ever recognize "one China". This rightly pissed off everyone on the mainland. I don't see any movement on Taiwan's status until everyone who can remember that historic slight has passed on, hopefully through natural means.

It takes stunning amounts of historical illiteracy to think there's any actual parallels between Taiwan and Palestine.
