Both the People's Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) claim to own all of China and Taiwan. Neither has reneged on their claim.
The reason why you see the west dance around Taiwan is because if they acknowledge Taiwan then they acknowledge Taiwan's claim the mainland China (at least as far as China is concerned).
I think it's time for Taiwan to renounce their claim to mainland China and gain full international support.
Of course, internal politics are probably not that simple. And China would definitely use that as an excuse to invade -- er, restore democracy to -- Taiwan.
