Abstract

The cross-Strait economic relationship is complex given the uneasy political connections existing between mainland China and Taiwan. Although attempts at fostering economic links between the two countries date back to the late 1970s, it is only after the 1985 Plaza Accord that Taiwanese firms started using China as an economic platform for trade and investment. Increased integration and normalization between the two countries was given a decisive impetus with membership to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The political dialogue after 2008 has changed trade and investment patterns into a more balanced cooperation. The Economic Cooperative Framework Agreement (ECFA) is a critical agreement in redressing the imbalances in the relationship.
