Taiwan has the opportunity to build a closer bilateral relationship with the US through mutually beneficial trade exchanges and high-tech industrial cooperation. This would not only contribute to Taiwan’s economic growth, but also strengthen Taiwan-US strategic ties, thus enhancing Taiwan’s capacity to safeguard itself while resisting China.

This Taiwan-US trade agreement tightly links security relations with economic and trade interests.
