Judging from the survey data released by the Ministry of Commerce of the mainland,Taiwan***The authorities deliberately set up obstacles to ban the import of as many as 2,509 mainland products, while the mainland only restored normal taxes on 12 products from Taiwan, which can be said to be relatively slight. If you want to teach the authorities a lesson and let them recognize the reality, the mainland should take reciprocal countermeasures and severely restrict Taiwan's imports, so that Taiwan can feel the real effect of economic losses.
In addition, in the ECFA documents signed by the two sides of the strait, the mainland has reduced the tariff on Taiwan for 539 products, while Taiwan has only reduced the tariff on the mainland for 267 products, and there is a serious asymmetry and imbalance. This kind of unequal treaty has made Taiwan's benefits far less than that of the mainland, and the mainland's deficit with Taiwan has skyrocketed. From $31.5 billion in 2002 to $156.5 billion in 2022, the deficit nearly quadrupled. This is in stark contrast to the dividends received by Taiwan.
in the Taiwan regionBarriersDuring the investigation, the mainland found that the authorities had taken discriminatory prohibitions and restrictions on the export of mainland products, in violation of ECFA regulations. Therefore, the relevant authorities of the mainland have decided to suspend the application of the ECFA agreement tax rates to the import products of the 12 tariff items from January 1, 2024, that is, these products exported from Taiwan will no longer enjoy tariff concessions.
This decision is not only a warning to the authorities, but also to safeguard the national interests of the mainland. In the current internationalenvironmentNext, the United States and Europe are jointly suppressing Chinese mainland and reducing "dependence" on China, which makes the mainland's ** deficit more prominent. The authorities are taking advantage of the mainland's concessions to buy, and even increase the promotion.""The intensity of the activity. As far as the mainland is concerned, giving Taiwan dividends is tantamount to indirect support."Therefore, a more resolute attitude is needed to respond to the wrongdoing of the authorities.
The mainland has been giving concessions to the Taiwan region for many years, but do the people on the island really realize the intention behind the concessions?As can be seen from the polls of Taiwan's elections, ** candidatesLai QingdeIt has been ranked first for a long time, which shows that the degree of identification with the mainland on the island of Taiwan is still not high. This may also be an important reason for the mainland's decision to withdraw the concessions.
For the mainland, if the people on the island are not fully grateful for the concessions, they will be further inclined to *** and".Then in the future, whether it is the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang coming to power, if they adopt an unfriendly attitude towards mainland enterprises and products, which has no positive effect on peace in the Taiwan Strait, the mainland may further withdraw more concessionary measures. After all, the mainland has given Taiwan as many as 539 products that have benefited Taiwan, and this has already given Taiwan great benefits.
The mainland's decision to suspend concessions to Taiwan is a response to the *** authorities, and it is also to safeguard the mainland's national interests. Both economically and politically, the mainland's concessions to Taiwan have reached a relatively reasonable level, while the island's recognition of the mainland is not high. In the future, if the Taiwan side continues to be hostile to the mainland, then the mainland will have to take further resolute countermeasures to ensure its own interests and stability and peace in the Taiwan Strait.
