Although the Taiwan economy in an important position on the Asian, but we can’t join the regional economic integration with other countries, especially it a pressure of South Korea is actively expanding its business, Taiwan just to sign the ECFA as more influential agreements. In the face of trade competition, ECFA can bring how many benefits to Taiwan on China''s trade, and how to counter the threat of China-Korea FTA. In this study, the first use of trade statistics system to calculate the import and export trade between Taiwan and China signed ECFA after the data changes, followed by analysis of China and South Korea signed a FTA benefits, as well as competition with Taiwan''s main trading partner, and finally in the discussion of Taiwan trade impact. The study analysis found that ECFA implementation of Taiwan''s import and export trades has increased significantly, and gradually promote the degree of interdependence with China''s trade, but trade with other countries has gradually decline. Since the implementation of China-Korea FTA has just begun, so only the first four months of total trade data, but compared with the same period in previous years, the value of trade, the trade value was significantly reduced, indicating that the current China-Korea FTA implementation effect is better than the expected, so not yet caused a huge impact on Taiwan, but because China-Korea FTA is a 20-year tariff reduction process, so in the future or will be affected, so it is necessary to actively set up a bridge of trade with other countries, and is committed to find the cross-strait trade balance relations, to facilitate the increase of foreign trade and economic situation in Taiwan.
