Study On Protection System Of Mainland-to-Taiwan Direct Investment

For a long time, due to closed and discriminatory Taiwan-and-Mainland investment policyby Taiwan authorities, Mainland-to-Taiwan direct investment has been stagnant. SinceTaiwan opened the Mainland-to-Taiwan direct investment in2009, the exchange on tradeand investment has played out a new scenario. However, after several years, compared withthe quick development on Taiwan-to-Mainland investment, Mainland-to-Taiwan investmentdoes not achieve the desired results. Besides the discriminatory treatment and unreasonablelimitation on Mainland-to-Taiwan investment by Taiwan authorities, the key reason lies inthe unreasonableness and insufficiency on the protection mechanism on Mainland-to-Taiwandirect investment. This thesis, by analyzing the current bilateral and regional agreements andmunicipal investment law as regards Taiwan-and-Mainland investment protectionmechanism and inspiration of the success of CEPA, manages to issue proposals onimprovement of the protection mechanism on Mainland-to-Taiwan direct investment.This thesis can be divided into four parts as follows: Part One, illustration about thedevelopment process and necessity for protection on Mainland-to-Taiwan direct investment;Part Two, analysis of current situations on Mainland-to-Taiwan direct investment; Part Three,inspiration by Mainland-to-Hong Kong and Mainland-to-Macao investment protectionmechanisms; Part Four, proposals on improvement of the protection mechanism onMainland-to-Taiwan direct investment.
