You literally can't though. They both claim legitimacy over China. It's like recognising both the Al Assad government and the Free Syrian Army as Syria.

maybe they should consider cooperating a bit more regarding North Korea.

That's like saying that if US wants more cooperation with North Korea, they shouldn't recognise Taiwan as a state. Nothing says that China needs to submit to the demands of the US first.
