According toMinistry of CommerceThe announcement was made on the 15th of this monthMinistry of CommerceAfter an eight-month investigation, it was concluded that the Taiwan authorities' restrictive measures against the mainland had been formedBarriers。According to the survey, as of the end of November this year, 2,509 mainland products had been included in the Taiwan authorities' list of prohibited imports. This result undoubtedly revealed the mainland's attitude to people from all walks of life on the island in advance. At the same time,**TariffsThe Tariff Commission also issued a decision on the 21st, that is, to suspendCross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement(ECFA) part of the productTariffsconcessions. From January 1, 2024, it is native to TaiwanAcrylicImported products of 12 tariff items, such as paraxylene, will no longer be subject to the ECFA agreement tax rate. The announcement of this information has aroused the concern of the people on the island about the economic and trade storm.
ForMinistry of CommerceAs a result of the announcement, some industry insiders are worried that once the ECFA is suspended, Taiwan's entire industry may suffer an unprecedented impact. Since the ECFA came into effect, 520 items of Taiwan's industrial products and 18 items of agricultural products have been imported to the mainland through the ECFA, and more than NT$280 billion has been exemptedTariffs。As a result, many fear that the suspension of the ECFA will have a serious impact on Taiwan's economy. However, judging from the countermeasures announced so far, the mainland's purpose is not to giveTaiwan's economyIt is hoped that the Taiwan region can lift restrictions on the mainland and create good cross-strait trade exchangesenvironment
Despite this, the mainland's move has also sent a clear signal to the Taiwan authorities: Undermining cross-strait economic and trade cooperation will inevitably provoke a strong response from the mainland. Taiwan Affairs Office of the State CouncilSpokeswoman Zhu Fenglian pointed out in her statement on the 21st that cross-strait economic and trade issues should have been resolved through consultations, but the authorities insisted."The stance has undermined the political foundation for cross-strait consultations and brought harm to compatriots on both sides of the strait. For this reason, the continent hopesIf we can return to the track of peaceful development, the two sides can do so".Ninety-two ConsensusOn the basis of consultation, various economic and trade issues will be resolved through consultation.
Although the mainland has clearly explained the reasons for stopping concessions and pointed out the correct path for cross-strait economic and trade development, the authorities do not seem to have really recognized the mistake. Less than 24 hours after the mainland issued the announcement, Chen Chien-jen, a responsible person of Taiwan's administrative organ, openly criticized the mainland's practice as so-called "economic coercion" and said that as long as the mainland side is sincere, the two sides can initiate the WTO mechanism to carry out consultations. However, after an in-depth analysis of this statement, it is not difficult to find that the politicians are only trying to blame the mainland side for the setbacks on both sides of the strait.
You must know that it was the authorities who first revised the rules, erected obstacles, and maliciously obstructed and undermined the normal cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and cooperation. The mainland took countermeasures and fought backBarriersIt is for reasons to act in accordance with the law. The key to gradually bringing cross-strait economic and trade cooperation back on the right track lies in the fact that the Taiwan authorities should promptly correct their mistakes and stop hyping up.""And**, stop setting all kinds of restrictions. Only in this way can we create a good business and consumption for the people on both sides of the straitenvironmentand promote the common development of the two sides of the strait.
While the mainland is taking countermeasures, the Taiwan authorities have unexpectedly called for dialogue. Chen Jianren said that as long as the mainland side is sincere, the two sides can initiate the WTO mechanism to carry out consultations. Although this statement gives people the impression that the Taiwan authorities are willing to resolve their differences through dialogue with the mainland, a careful look will show that the politicians are nothing more than trying to shift the responsibility for the setbacks between the two sides of the strait to the mainland.
The mainland's call for dialogue after taking countermeasures sends a clear signal: inOn the premise of returning to the right track of peaceful development, the two sides can resolve various economic and trade issues through consultation. However, the authorities did not really understand the goodwill of the mainland. They continue to insist"."Position, refusal to recognize".Ninety-two ConsensusThis has undermined the political basis for cross-strait consultations and caused harm to compatriots on both sides of the strait. Therefore, the mainland hopes that the Taiwan authorities will recognize their mistakes and correct them in a timely manner. Only in ".Ninety-two ConsensusOnly then will the two sides of the strait be able to resolve various issues in economic and trade relations through consultations.
It is worth noting that the mainland's two actions against Taiwan and the emergence of opportunities for dialogue show that the mainland does not want to undermine cross-strait economic and trade cooperation. On the contrary, the mainland hopes that the Taiwan region will lift restrictions on the mainland and create a good relationship for cross-strait trade and tradeenvironment。That's inTaiwan Affairs Office of the State CouncilSpokesperson Zhu Fenglian's statement was clearly reflected. However, the authorities still did not recognize the mistake and continued to try to shift the blame to the mainland. This attitude is not only detrimentaldevelopment, will also lead toTaiwan's economyMore severely affected.
We can see this from the analysis of the mainland's new measures against Taiwan twice in a week, as well as the incidents in which the Taiwan authorities called for dialogueThe current dilemma and prospects. The mainland has taken countermeasures to retaliate against TaiwanBarriersThe purpose of this act is to maintain the normal development of cross-strait economic and trade relations and to create a benign relationship between the two sides of the straitenvironment。The mainland's call for dialogue has also fully demonstrated its willingness to resolve economic and trade issues through consultations. However, the Taiwan authorities have turned a deaf ear to the mainland's goodwill and continued to insist.""The position, which undermined the basis for cross-strait consultations, led totensions.
Personally, in order to improveThe Taiwan authorities should reflect on their own mistakes and stop hyping up.""and**, and admitted".Ninety-two ConsensusThe importance of ". It is only on this basis that this can be achievedand promote cross-strait economic and trade cooperation back on the right track. At the same time, the mainland's action calling for dialogue is also a warning to Taiwan, indicating that the act of undermining cross-strait economic and trade cooperation will draw a strong response from the mainland. Therefore, the Taiwan authorities should face up to this warning, recognize the sincerity of the mainland side, and engage in sincere dialogue with the mainland side to resolve the current differences and problems. This can only be achieved through dialogue and consultationto create better economic and trade for the people on both sides of the straitenvironmentand development opportunities.
