Since the 21 century, economic globalization and integration of regional economics have been developed rapidly. Participating in the integration of regional economics of each level in various forms has already become the inevitable choices of countries all over the world. The cross-strait economic development also has no exception. Since the 1990s, development of the trade between the mainland and Taiwan is in a rapid speed, the scale is expanding constantly. And the cross-strait also has been setting up the economic and trade cooperation that can benefit each other.Taiwan has been an inalienable part of the territory of China since ancient times. The people of two sides are all the descendants of the yellow Emperor, related by flesh and blood, culture and root, the geographical reason is close, and the two economies are highly complementary. Rapid development of trading ties of two sides, not only the important support of economic development of Taiwan, but also has played a positive role in the economic development of the mainland. The economy of Taiwan is a component of Chinese nation's economy, expanding two sides' economic cooperation and exchange, in line with the common interests of the people of two sides.Chapter one of this text has done the introduction to the current situation of cooperation in economy and trade of both sides of the Straits. The author has spent lot of pen and ink, and used a large amount of data, in order to let the readers understand Taiwan economy and cross-strait economic and trade course, also the current situation clearly. The economy of Taiwan is a typical export leading type economic system. For over 50 years, through economic recovery, support for agriculture, export-oriented, economic transition, the economy of Taiwan has got very fast development. During this period, its economic development speed is changed over to from original fast growth and increased steadily to the moderate speed of the 1990s, after 2000, entered a low speed again. In addition, the description, this text to the current situation of cooperation in economy and trade of both sides of the Straits, is mainly from the scale of cross-strait foreign trade, the trade goods formed, invested in continent, and so on. At present, the mainland has already become the first major trading partner in Taiwan, the first largest export market, the second largest import market and the largest source of trade surplus; Taiwan is the fifth major trading partner of the mainland, the seventh largest export market, the fourth largest import market and the largest source of trade deficit.Chapter two, from the angles of comparative interests foundation (factors of production inputs, labor costs, the size of the market), world and east Asia economic situation, changes in the cross-strait political situation and economic and trade policies, analyzed the influencing factors that is related to the development of cross-strait economic and trade exchanges.There are regional differences in the economic development of both sides of the Straits, and it has important realistic meanings in promoting cooperation in economy and trade and development of two sides; Secondly, our country's high-speed development of economy has already become the important component of international economy at present, and the position is prominent in the economic development of east Asia day by day, gives play to locomotive engine function gradually; In addition, political factor, is the role of the most important thing of performer in the factor influencing trading ties of two sides. For a long time, the leaders of the Taiwan authorities has considered out of politics, sometimes admit with invest into cross-strait trade , sometimes hinder and contain , all these are unfavorable to situation that two sides create win-win better.Chapter three emphasized the importance in the economy of both sides of cooperation in economy and trade of two sides, proceed from two angles mainly:First, the impact on the economy of Taiwan, it has already been the lifeblood of economic development of Taiwan, also the motive force of driving and supporting foreign trade of Taiwan. Taiwan media once reported that the annual economic growth rate of Taiwan has 2% to lean against the trade contacts with the mainland at least. The mainland is the important strong point of economic development of Taiwan. At the same time, the economic and trade contacts of two sides have accelerated the transition and upgrading of the industrial structure of Taiwan too; Investment and transformation in the mainland of agriculture from Taiwan, have opened up bigger market for the local agriculture of Taiwan.Second is the impact on continent economy. The cross-strait economy has already become the important motive force of economic growth of the mainland too, and has promoted the upgrading of industrial structure of the continent. In absorbing the mainland workforce, enterprises that Taiwan made an investment in mainland have played a greater role too, especially in the eastern coastal area. In addition, the products, Taiwan-owned enterprise made in the mainland, are exported to the third place and making great contribution to earn foreign exchange to the mainland.Chapter four mainly analyses the question existing in the course of cooperation in economy and trade of two sides, for instance: The cross-strait trade is out-of-balance seriously; cross-strait trade dispute increases year by year; and the question of "three direct links". All those are outstanding problems, also has its historical factors. In order to enable corss-strait trade to launch smoothly, these problems must be solved properly. On one hand the Taiwan authority is eager to participate in integrating in the area, prevent the marginalisation; on the other hand, they adopt limiting and opposing policy to "common markets of two sides" that are put forward inside Taiwan. It is not the economic factor that hampers economy of Taiwan's progress. Taiwan should realize ,to fulfill the aim of structural adjustment of industrialized period, they must take two measures, first, realize cross-strait" three direct links " as soon as possible; second, implement the continent capital open as soon as possible.Chapter five combined stated preceding paragraphs to prospect the future of cooperation in economy and trade of two sides.With the accelerating of industrialized process of continent, the industrial structure is upgraded progressively, the scale of cross-strait trade is expanding constantly, at the same time, the division within the industry gradually shifts from the vertical level to horizontal level; Taiwan trader's investment in the field of service trade of the mainland will increase too.Our country is a large manufacturing country. Taiwan traders invest in service trade of mainland just meets the high demand of logistics, finance, electronic commerce service trade; Secondly, the meticulous agriculture of Taiwan is highly developed, scientific and technological content and deeply processed degree are high. There are large quantities of high-quality agricultural products, for instance tropical fruit, flowers, vegetables, seed, etc…But the products, such as fruits, are unsuitable to keep, and the volume of consumption of the market of Taiwan is limited. There are enormous demand markets in the continent, so there will be extensive prospects in cross-strait agricultural trade. And the localization that is managed in the mainland of enterprise of Taiwan, the establishment of the cooperation in cross-strait economy mechanism will become an indispensable ring in the future.The conclusive part of this text has done the summary to preceding paragraphs. Complying with the international economic trend, dispelling cross-strait trade barrier, promoting the liberalization of trade and the economic integration can help to give play to the position advantages of both sides of the Straits further, to strengthen the combination of economic key element effectively, to open the new situation of cross-strait economic cooperation, to promote the whole strength of the coastal regional economy of southeast of our country, to bring about an coordinated development in regional economy, to strengthen the force of reunification, and so on.
