    中國大陸改革開放,以及台灣的允許台商間接投資與貿易,到底對兩岸產業的分工與競爭產生什麼影響?本文分析中國大陸經貿發展模式的特質,並探討這些特質為何吸引台商前往投資,而且逐步改變台灣的生產與貿易結構。本文發現台灣產業逐漸成為中國大陸台商的上游供應鏈,然而台灣對美國的商品出口市場,則有逐漸遭到中國大陸廠商取代的趨勢。促使台灣產業必須加強研發,才能在兩岸產業分工與國際市場競爭居於優勢。

Abstract

What effects have China’s “Open Door and Reform Policy” and the liberalization of Taiwanese indirect trade and investment in Mainland China had on the cross-strait division of labor and economic competition? This article analyzes the characteristics of China’s economic development model, how these characteristics have attracted Taiwanese investment, and how this investment has led to the eventual change in the structure of Taiwan’s trade and production.

This research has found that over time, Taiwanese industry has become the upstream supplier for the Taiwan business community in China, but that along with this change has been the rising trend of Chinese firms being able to slowly replace Taiwanese products with their own on the American export market. In order to galvanize its industry and put itself in a more advantageous position to compete in the global marketplace and in cross-strait economic affairs, it is imperative that Taiwan strengthens its research and development programs.
