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."
