For example, give up Puerto Rico and Hawaii but recognize Taiwan at the same time.
China may not officially give a shit, but Europe and many former colonies should.

Now, Taiwan is quite rich, but still, optics matter. Better to give Puerto Rico tons of reparations if you are worried about it being impoverished and dependent.
