It was a nice laugh to see China as one of the countries which officially recognizes Palestine as a sovereign state.
Comment on Biden administration actively censoring the word "Palestine" just like the New York Times

Did you know America doesn’t recognize Tiwan as its own country but as a part of China?

That’s weird because Biden seems to be able to say the word “Taiwan”.

Yeah, kinda weird that they don’t recognize either country but can still say one of their names but not the other. I wonder why that is…

The One China policy doesn’t say it’s part of China (PRC). It’s acknowledging that there is one “China”, and both Taiwan and China are part of it, but it doesn’t say if Taiwan (ROC) is China and PRC is part of it, or if China (PRC) is China and Taiwan is part of it.

It’s worth noting that the US does recognize the Palestinian National Authority as the leader of the Palestinian territories, and the Palestinian Libertarian Organization as the leader of the Palestinian people
It’s just the country “Palestine” that is not recognized.
Wikipedia sums it up well:
