"One China" is also ROC ('Taiwan') policy, not just PRC's.

Maybe not so much. The PRC threatens automatic military action if Taiwan repudiates that policy, as it sees it as a move for formal independence. So Taiwan has been forced to pay lip service to that policy whether it truly believes in it or not:

The political situation of Taiwan is very weird, as many of the "official" positions are contrary to the actual positions.

ROC president Ma Ying-jeou asserted claims on mainland China in 2008. PRC claims Taiwan all the time. So is that really equivalent?
