Book Description
China and Taiwan have built one of the most intertwined and important economic relationships in the world, and yet that relationship is not mutually open, compliant with World Trade Organization norms, or even fully institutionalized. What's more, despite massive trade and investment flows, the boundary between the two is a serious flashpoint for potential conflict. But leaders in Beijing and Taipei have committed to normalize and deepen their economic intercourse and open a new post-Cold War era in their relationship. While the political significance of this gambit has captured attention worldwide, the scope of opening intended and the bilateral, regional, and global effects likely to ensue are as yet poorly understood. This volume attempts to remedy that uncertainty with careful modeling combined with a qualitative assessment of the implications of the cross-strait economic opening now agreed in an Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA). The study explores the implications for Taiwan and China, for their neighbors, and for the United States if this undertaking is fully implemented by 2020.

The Structure and Evolution of Recent U.S. Trade Policy
Author: Robert E. BaldwinPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226036537
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The trade policies addressed in this book have far-reaching effects on the world's increasingly interdependent economies, but until now little research has been devoted to them. This volume represents the first systematic effort to analyze specific U.S. trade policies, particularly nontariff measures. It provides a better understanding of how trade policies operate, how effective they are, and what their costs and benefits are to trading nations. The contributors chart the history of U.S. trade policy since World War II, analyze industry-specific trade barriers, and discuss the effects of tariff preferences and export-promoting policies such as export credits and domestic international sales corporations (DISCs). The final section of essays examines the worldwide impact of import policies, pointing out subtleties in industry-specific policies and providing insight into the levels of protection in developing countries. The contributors blend state-of-the-art economics with language that is accessible to the business community, economists, and policymakers. Commentaries accompany each paper.
China's Influence and American Interests
Author: Larry DiamondPublisher: Hoover Press
ISBN: 0817922865
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.

Pages : 42
Book Description
The economic rise of China and the growing network of trade and investmentrelations in northeast Asia are causing major changes in human, economic, political,and military interaction among countries in the region. This is affecting U.S. relationswith China, China's relations with its neighbors, the calculus for war across theTaiwan Straits, and the basic interests and policies of China, Japan, Taiwan, andSouth Korea. These, in turn, affect U.S. strategy in Asia. China, for example, hasembarked on a “smile strategy” in which it is attempting to coopt the interests ofneighboring countries through trade and investment while putting forth a lessthreatening military face (to everyone but Taiwan). Under the rubric of the Six-PartyTalks, the United States, China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea are cooperating toresolve the North Korean nuclear crisis. Taiwanese businesses have invested anestimated $70 to $100 billion in factories in coastal China. China relies on foreigninvested enterprises for about half its imports and exports. For Taiwan, Japan, andSouth Korea, China has displaced the United States as their major trading partner.

Taiwanese businesses have invested an estimated $70 to $100 billion in factories in coastal China. China relies on foreign invested enterprises for about half its imports and exports. For Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, China has displaced the United States as their major trading partner. The implications of China's globalization and rise as a major economic power can be seen in its impact both on Beijing and on policy deliberations in Taipei, Tokyo, and Seoul. For China's trading partners, dependency on the Chinese market means that Beijing is looming larger in all aspects of policy making. While this is not likely to challenge U.S. security ties with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, it raises several policy issues. One is how to deal with a modernizing and more powerful Chinese military financed by the growing Chinese economy. Another is how to explicitly incorporate into U.S. policy the greater weight that Beijing is being given in policy deliberations in Tokyo and Seoul. A further policy issue is whether to take measures to offset the rising economic clout of China and attempts by Beijing to create East Asian institutions with China at the center.

Taiwan Developments and Their Implications for U.S.-PRC Relations
Author: Lucian W. PyePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : China
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
This study, based on extensive interviews conducted in Taiwan during August 1983, assesses how people in Taiwan have reacted to their evolving circumstances in recent years--specifically, to derecognition by the United States and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC), and to the worldwide economic recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s--and how they view prospects for the future of their island. It considers the policy implications of these changes for U.S. relations with Taiwan and the PRC, and concludes that (1) it is essential for the United States to recognize the complex realities of political life in Taiwan and not assume that discrete pressures can produce precise outcomes; (2) if the United States wants to increase its influence over the political process in Taiwan, it will have to become more involved in that society and polity than it is today; and (3) the PRC's interests probably are best served by continuing tolerance of the formula of "sovereignty," which has kept Taiwan from moving toward complete "independence" and total abandonment of its symbolic association with China.
