“The US has repeatedly said it seeks peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, does not support Taiwan independence and maintains a one-China policy.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While the Wikipedia entry on Taiwan-US relations mentions the 1979 recognition of the PRC, the provided snippets do not explicitly state the specific three-part claim regarding the current US pursuit of peace/stability, opposition to independence, and maintenance of the one-China policy.
