Taiwan Approves US$187 Million Mainland-bound Investment

Taiwan on Tuesday approved 21 mainland-bound investment projects worth US$187.35 million.

They included projects by Taiwan Glass, Chunghwa Picture Tube, Giga-Byte Technology, and China Airlines.

The Investment Commission gave the greenlight to Taiwan Glass Industrial Corporation's US$35 million project to build a glass fiber manufacturing firm and Chunghwa Pictures Tube's nearly US$30 million investment in a related operation.

Currently, mainland-bound investments from the island must be made through third parties, mostly Hong Kong or tax-haven islands in the Caribbean.

Taiwanese companies have poured about US$70 billion into the mainland since authorities here relaxed civil exchanges between the two sides in 1987.

Taiwan has adopted a "go slow" policy on mainland-bound investments since 1996 aimed at reducing the island's economic dependence on the mainland and to prevent an exodus of capital and technological know-how.

The policy bans single investments worth more than US$50 million, infrustructure and advanced technology projects. However, such investments are often made through foreign subsidiaries of Taiwan companies.
