| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 國際政治研究所 === 97 === Beginning from the soaring cross-strait economic and trade exchange in 1987, an enormous market opportunity to Taiwan enterprises has been formed, and this is particularly true under the tidal wave of globalization. Nevertheless, Taiwan becomes fairly fragile for excessive reliance upon market of and investments in China because of Taiwan’s confrontation with such a powerful political adversary that has never proclaimed to give up force in order to settle the cross-strait issue since it staged. In consequence of its huge investments and trading with China, Taiwan worries about its dependency on China economically, and, is afraid of damages caused therefore to Taiwan’s independence status de facto politically.
However, the continuous “Reform & Opening” policy of China has indeed attracted foreign investments to create far greater business opportunities for them to invest the Chinese market, and many privileges were offered in the same period of time, and legislation of a series of policy was made to protect the rights and interest of foreign investors and reinforce the infrastructure facilities for investments. In fact, actual capital investment in China by Taiwan businessmen could not be possibly affirmed by means of the published statistics by the government that imposed the restrictions. This is because many Taiwanese businessmen (especially the giant enterprises) who had transferred their capital to China, in an extremely high proposition through a third country, such as Hong Kong or British colonies (BVI or Cayman Islands), under personal titles during the periods of “Patience against Rush” and “Positive Management and Effective Lifting of Restrictions”.
In the presence of a situation marking the non-concerted paces between civilians and government, the actual amount of economic and trade investment should have been much higher than the official statistical figures. It is to be contemplated whether Taiwan Government should hasten its speed to establish an effective mechanism and protective agreement of investment to regulate our economic and trade investment policy towards China. Somehow, this economic and trade exchange has been branded with a very high political implication, and even such economic and trade dependency upon China will gradually cast a pall of serious doubt on and grave concerns of Taiwan political and national security theory.
The cross-strait economic and trade relation had been mixed with sensitive political issues when DPP stayed in power. There were no formal channels mostly could have been employed to obtain a legitimate protection from international investment laws. It remains a gigantic problem and deadlock for cross-strait normalization of economic and trade relation. The purpose of this study is to discover the factors affecting the DPP investment policy to China and the effect of the policy enforced, and investigate the DPP thinking and future development policy of the relevant issues, and hopefully to serve them as references to the governmental handling of cross-strait economic and trade investment policy under negotiation in time to come.
