Taiwan News: The Financial Times on Saturday (Sept. 11) cited multiple sources as stating that the White House is "seriously considering" granting a request by Taiwan to change the name of its representative office in Washington from the “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (TECRO) to the “Taiwan Representative Office.” According to the sources, White House Asia adviser Kurt Campbell supports the name change.

That's a good sign.

I still don't know why countries don't just recognize Taiwan. Remove 'a convenient lie' from the basis of foreign policy.
