    Very shrewd targeting by China. Many Taiwanese snack manufacturers make snacks that are popular to Chinese (inc those in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc) tastes but aren't particularly paletable to other markets.

    It would be relatively simple for Taiwan to find other buyers for its laptops and machine tools. Salted duck egg flavored biscuits? Not so much.

        I MISS MY DUCK TONGUES.

        But it probably shows how much easier it would be to market Taiwan’s snack stuffs to mainland China than to elsewhere, with an undeniably shared/intermingled language, culture etc.

      Speak for yourself. If I could get salted duck egg flavored biscuits here for a reasonable price, I would.

        Well I hope for the sake of Taiwanese food business that you are a market of a billion plus people.
