Nope. The US just changed it’s official position to recognition of Taiwan as an independent entity, as part of the TAIPEI Act in response to all this.

The TAIPEI Act doesn't change the US's position on recognition as a country.

It specifically says "the US should advocate for Taiwan’s membership in all international organisations in which statehood is not a requirement"

Note the statehood is not a requirement thing.

I think it would be great if Taiwan had observer status at WHO, and I think the TAIPEI Act should help towards this. But the point remains: Taiwan is an unusual entity, and WHO is far from alone in having trouble with this.

Section 1(a)(3):

"(3) Taiwan is a free, democratic, and prosperous nation of 23,000,000 people and an important contributor to peace and stability around the world."
