Recently, the mainland has constituted a confrontation with Taiwan IslandBarriersThe recognition has become a hot topic among political parties on the island, bringing a series of responses. ** Against the norm, he pointed the finger at the Kuomintang, believing that the vice chairman of the KuomintangXia LiyanAt the same time, the mainland was accused of directly intervening in the election on Taiwan without consulting in accordance with the WTO mechanism. Although the authorities' response has an obvious intention to help their candidate Lai Qingde, it also exposes its internal weakness and dependence on the United States. In addition to the Kuomintang,People First PartyChairmanSong ChuyuThat's right, tooTsai Ing-wenThe authorities responded with outrage and made their own proposals.
This timePeople First PartyThe response is aimed at the export reduction of goods from Taiwan to the mainlandTariffsThe situation was analyzed, pointing out what Taiwan has obtained since the implementation of the ECFA early harvest listTariffsThe reduction has reached 983.6 billion US dollars, but the Taiwan authorities unilaterally imposed export controls on 2,509 items of goods from the mainland, restricting the entry of mainland goods into Taiwan. Such behavior is not acceptable in the WTO and may lead to early termination of the ECFA. People First PartyIt is believed that the response is not to protect Taiwan's economic and trade exchanges and ECFA, but to accelerate the pace of ECFA termination. In this regard,People First PartyChairmanSong ChuyuA proposal was put forward to initiate a dispute resolution mechanism to resolve the issue through regular dialogue to ensure the continued enjoyment of Taiwan's agricultural and fishery productsTariffspreferential treatment to ensure the livelihood of farmers and fishermen on the island. AlthoughPeople First Partymay be a hypothetical scenario for the current situation, but if it can be realizedOpposition partiesThe possibility of being in power may be able to give the mainland some constructive references.
ECFA is in"Ninety-two Consensus"on the basis of the signed economic agreement. However, sinceTsai Ing-wenSince taking office in 2016, she has not accepted it"Ninety-two Consensus", changedCross-strait politicsfoundation, no longer recognized"One China"。Therefore, if *** continues to govern next year, this economic agreement may lose the need to sign it. According to the ECFA, one party needs to give written notice to the other party to terminate the agreement, and the parties negotiate with each other, and if no agreement can be reached, the agreement will automatically expire 180 days after the notice of termination is sent. It can be seen that as long as the mainland side is terminated, the ECFA will become invalid after half a year.
For the prospects of the ECFA,Song ChuyuConcerns were expressed and recommendations were made to the mainland. However,People First PartyAsOpposition partieslimits its impact, and even if there are recommendations, it is difficult to have a full impact on the situation as a whole. The cross-strait situation today is very different from that of 2008, and the nature of the political parties on the island has become clear. If cross-strait reunification is not the ultimate goal of exchanges, it may only be a matter of time before the ECFA is terminated. Sometimes, people may realize how precious they are before the blessings they have received in the past.
The mainland is constituted on the island of TaiwanBarriersThe designation sparked a response from political parties on the island. ** Pointed the finger at the Kuomintang,People First PartyChairmanSong ChuyuThat's rightTsai Ing-wenThe authorities responded with outrage and made their own proposals. While ***'s response intentions are to help its candidates' campaigns, it also exposes its internal weakness and dependence on the United States. People First PartyAlthough the proposal has limited possibilities for implementation, it provides some ideas on how to handle cross-strait economic and trade relations. However, in the current political climate, the chances of this proposal being realized are not great. The outlook for the ECFA has also been greatly affected, and if *** continues to govern, it may accelerate the pace of its termination. ForThis is an issue that deserves our attention and consideration. How to properly handle cross-strait economic and trade relations and provide a guarantee for the livelihood of Taiwan's farmers and fishermen is a direction that requires the joint efforts of political leaders. At the same time, we should also recognize that the favors we have received in the past have not come easily, and maintain an open and friendly attitude that will help preserve themstability and development.
