No, the position of the un and every other country is to support the status quo. You can call it one china but not the same country.

Taiwan is no more part of china than England is part of the united states.

That's factually wrong. The status quo that UN and vast majority of countries in the world recognize is that Taiwan is part of China. This is a plain fact.

The status of Taiwan and China is quite complicated and it cannot be simplified so much that Taiwan belongs to China as it is, differentiating between ROC and PRC. The PRC's fiery power over Taiwan is quite debatable.

This is a good run down of the actual legal status of Taiwan https://thediplomat.com/2014/08/no-taiwans-status-is-not-uncertain/

that is completely and utterly incorrect, check the UN database, it will cite them recognizing the PRC as the sole existing China.

PRC have a power of veto in UN. How do you think they would ever let UN change anything of status quo regarding to Taiwan?
