Statemen even presidents know or learn the One China Policy is a minefield, just ask Trump about a week into his administration.
The problem is that the One China Policy is a wink and a nod agreement/declaration.
I see Taiwan as a wholly independent country but nobody gives a shite what I think and I have no skin in the game

Obviously, his visit was the impetus that allowed the Shanghai Communique but as it often does with multi-language agreements it comes down to translation. We used the word "acknowledge" vs the word "accept" but the Chinese word used in the translation strongly indicates "accept".
I have always thought normalizing relations with China was a mistake but you never know with the butterfly effect (which could have been the condor effect here) it could have pushed Russia and China together and we might still have an active wall in Berlin which could be a good or bad thing depending on how things panned out over the last 30 odd years.
