Abstract

Since the early 1980s, economic exchanges between Taiwan and mainland China has reached significant levels. This increasing interaction is partly the result of mainland China’s economic reform policy, which has been ongoing since the late 1970s, and China’s plan to develop its economy by opening up the country to the outside world. Enhanced cross-Strait exchange has also been due to mainland China’s more moderate stance regarding Taiwan, a stance that was gradually adopted beginning in 1980.
