Today we're releasing our 2024 White Paper which includes more than 90 recommendations to the government to improve the business environment and unlock Taiwan's full potential. The recommendations raised represent the views of 26 industry groups - including the most innovative sectors of Taiwan's economy. These groups urge the government to work with industry to enhance the investment climate, strengthen resilience, and amplify Taiwan’s strategic economic positioning in the face of an uncertain future. We also call on Washington to support Taiwan's defense, boldly move forward to a bilateral trade agreement, tackle double taxation, schedule routine visits by U.S. officials, and advocate for Taiwan's participation in international organizations.

Xi Jinping's Europe Visit: A Delicate Balancing Act Amid Trade Tensions This week, President Xi Jinping's tour through Europe becomes a focal point in the complex web of global trade relations. In Paris, the ambiance of diplomacy barely masks the underlying economic tensions, as Europe grapples with the dual challenge of curbing heavily subsidized Chinese exports while simultaneously courting Chinese investments to bolster its economic strategies. Europe's approach reflects a balancing act—publicly tightening the reins on imports like electric vehicles through potential tariffs, while privately securing investments that link directly to China's Belt and Road Initiative. The tension between protecting domestic industries and inviting foreign capital illustrates the intricacies of modern geopolitical strategies. As these dynamics unfold, they cast a long shadow over the global markets, with investors warily eyeing the oscillating signals for cues on future market directions. The outcomes of Xi's engagements could significantly influence sectors ranging from renewable energy to high-tech manufacturing, setting the tone for future economic interactions between China and the European Union. #GlobalTrade #EconomicDiplomacy #XiJinping #Europe #InvestmentStrategy

Did the summit meeting between the two presidents, Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in San Francisco last November, open new possibilities or will it be seen, in retrospect, as a zenith in this hard period of the relationship? Greg Treverton explores this question in his latest opinion piece for SMA: The Program Lifecycle Company. https://lnkd.in/ghBhTuHM #China #GregTreverton #APEC #AsiaPacificEconomicCooperation

On May 2, the U.S. Department of State hosted the U.S. Department of Commerce, other U.S. government representatives, and counterparts from the #PacificIslands to discuss the Biden Administration’s support for Pacific Island trade and development. The U.S.-Pacific Island country relationship is stronger than ever, and so are our #commercial and #investment relationships across the Pacific. At the meeting, the International Trade Administration’s Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Asia participated in a “development and trade” panel with Pacific Island Heads of Mission (their Ambassadors to the United States), where we discussed Commerce programming in the region and how our countries can work even closer together to highlight the opportunities for American companies to trade with, and invest in, Pacific Island economies. Our efforts will help Pacific Island countries as they seek to provide additional economic opportunity for their citizens and allow their private sectors to more fully participate in global markets. ?
