Forces in Equilibirum? Star Wars forces?

Go to question 11 where you see three charges hanging.
The solution is something i don't understand.
The forces between the middle and left or right are the same. But the solution also set sum of the force exerted by the middle charge on the left and right on left together to equal to the horizontal force (I think they made a trig mistake, but it worked out fine in this case since [tex]\theta[/tex] = 45 degrees).
My question is, how does the right exert a force all the way to the left? This is like Star Wars Forces...
How does it even interact with it?
