Fun fact: the two are closely intertwined economically. And that has been

Politically, the two couldn’t be further apart. But in terms of doing
business, they couldn’t be closer together.

This is true. If you're old enough, you'll remember that products that used
to say "Made In Taiwan" almost immediately started reading "Made in China"
after the U.S. started trading with China again. Before that time, Chinese
goods were made in China, shipped to Taiwan and then shipped to the United
States. But there are still some Taiwanese companies, like Asus. But I think
most of their stuff is made in mainland China anyhow.
