China had been kind to Taiwan in the past as it rejected Panam's request for a diplomatic tie out of concern for Taiwan's political well-being. This was revealed by Wikileaks above. However, Taiwan didn't appreciate this kind gesture and instead wanted to gain independence by being anti-China.
This infuriates China and China has acceded to Panama's request this time. Taiwan has shot itself in the foot this time.
