Summary:

Taiwan is a top U.S. trade partner and a key link in global technology and manufacturing supply chains, supporting the United States, the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China), and other global markets. Taiwan’s economy is highly dependent on global trade; exports account for about 70% of gross domestic product (GDP). Taiwan’s policies are seeking to generate growth in emerging technologies and reduce its dependence on the PRC by diversifying trade and investment and on-shoring production. Central to these efforts are U.S. and Taiwan government actions to deepen commercial ties. Issues facing Congress include identifying and asserting its prerogatives over the U.S.-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative negotiations and considering legislation that would prevent double taxation and boost two-way investment.
