Since May 2024, Mainland China has suspended tariff concessions under ECFA for certain machine tool products, impacting Taiwan’s export competitiveness. Previously, the Early Harvest List helped boost Taiwan’s market share in China, but import substitution policies and slower economic growth have reduced market size. The four suspended items account for over 40% of Taiwan’s ECFA-listed exports to China, creating a significant impact. Taiwanese manufacturers must increase local production in China and actively expand into the U.S., ASEAN, EU, and North American markets, while aligning with ESG trends and promoting energy-saving and carbon reduction to maintain global competitiveness.
