  16. “The annual labour of every nation is the fund which originally supplies it with all thenecessaries and conveniences oflifewhich it annually consumes…” An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes ofThe Wealth of Nations Adam Smith 1723-1790

  17. V. Challenges Ahead

  18. “Adam Smith’s economy grows to its ‘full complement of riches’ as permitted by itslawsandinstitutions, and there it rests.” According to Adam Smith Arthur W. Lewis, 1984

  19. Opportunities

  20. Direct sea and air link Cost savings may amount up 20-30% which will enhance the global competitiveness of both economies. Time savings for travelers and tourists will boost the real-estate and the sluggish tourism market in Taiwan. Both factors will revitalize the plan “Building Taiwan as an Asia-Pacific Regional Operations Center,” focusing Taiwan’s location advantage, manufacturing strength, and rich cultural assets. Collateral Benefits from Closer Economic Ties across Taiwan-strait

  21. Lifting investment cap and trade barriers Current situation: 1) There is a 40% cap on investment in China for listed companies in Taiwan. 2) Around 1,200 items of Chinese industrial products and 800 items of agricultural goods are not legitimated for free import in Taiwan. 3) Investments in infrastructural, finance and certain high-tech industries in China are regulated by Taiwan authority. Impact: 1)Further cross-strait division of labor along the horizontal product line and/or vertical process will be possible and enhance the trade competitiveness of both economies accordingly. 2) Taipei’s position and opportunity as a regional financial center will be reconfirmed CollateralBenefits from Closer Economic Ties across Taiwan-strait

  22. Further collaborations may take place: Environmental protection Culture activities Higher lever of education Development of high-tech industries CollateralBenefits from Closer Economic Ties across Taiwan-strait

  23. Prospect: A reinforced cross-strait economic ties will contribute to a more stable and sustainable economic growth for both parties, for the region, and the world economy as a whole . China in her interest to boost its economy by raising consumption and narrowing trade surplus will provide a cushion for the foreseeable falling world economy. Taiwan, on the other hand, should apply all its liberalization measures to China and thus qualified as a fully open economy. CollateralBenefits from Closer Economic Ties across Taiwan-strait
