● Ties were badly strained when Chen Shui-bian from the Democratic Progressive Party was president of Taiwan from 2000-2008 because of his independence rhetoric, even as he tried to maintain positive relations with Beijing. ● Since the DPP’s Tsai Ing-wen became president in 2016 and won re-election in 2020, Taiwan-China ties have soured, with China cutting off a formal dialogue mechanism, flying fighter jets around Taiwan, forcing foreign firms to refer to Taiwan as part of China on their websites, and whittling away at Taiwan’s diplomatic allies.
● China, with its 1.3 billion people and much cheaper costs, is also Taiwan’s favorite investment destination, with Taiwan companies investing over $100 billion there, private estimates show.
