Like Israel and Palestine, Taiwan and China are two societies who have grievances over lost land, styles of government and strategic interests.  But forty per cent of Taiwan’s trade is with China and between them they run 90 per cent of the global market for wi-fi routers. In contrast, Israel’s trade with its two Arab neighbour with whom it does have diplomatic relations — Jordan and Egypt — is only 0.6 per cent of the total. 

On paper, neither Taiwan and China recognise each other’s right to exist, but over the years both have found an alternative way to live together.
