Tamkang Forum Took to the Podium again

On November l3, Tamkang Forum took to the podium again. They invited Prof. Su Chi, former Director of Mainland Affairs Council, R.O.C. and Mr. Lin Chia-cheng, honorary trustee of Trans-Asia Airways and a member of Board of Trustees, TKU, to discuss the overall impact of Taiwan’s accession to WTO in terms of her relationship with Mainland China. From a long-term perspective, Dr. Su alleged, it helps boost the relations between Taiwan and China. However, from the incident of recent APEC meeting, we can tell that “ire” is the right word to denote the prevalent mood of the commanding officials in Beijing and it also reflects the political distance between the two “nations”. After Taiwan joining WTO, Mainland China will certainly detract from giving favorable treatment to Taiwan merchants, so-called “Tai Shang”. But many leading businessmen will “migrate” into the heartland of China, and so, it becomes imminent that we should try to re-open talks with them. And, the sooner we strike a deal (a treaty) with them, to protect the interests of “Tai Shang”, so to speak, the better.
