You might as well say North Korea = South Korea. We're talking about the characteristics of a manufactured product, not a people's ethnicity. Chinese products do not equate to Taiwanese products.
Chinese knock-offs of a Honda power-train design have exactly ZERO to do with the proprietary designs of a number of Taiwanese manufacturers. The Taiwanese produce some of the finest power sports products in the world. In fact, no less than BMW Motorrad contracts with a Taiwanese firm for the supply of a complete power-train.
