Taiwan-Fujian¡¦s Economic Development and Regional Cooperation

Abstract
Among all provinces in Mainland China, Fujian, located across the strait from Taiwan, has the most intimate relationship with Taiwan. The economic development between Fujian and Taiwan thus has important implications and values, which are unfolding in the following aspects: (1) historical connection; (2) geographic site; (3) Mainland China¡¦s Policy toward Taiwan; (4) Taiwan-Fujian¡¦s economic structure; and (5) the developmental layout of Taiwan economy.
The research framework of this present study utilized Heckscher-Ohlin approach, which is to observe the capital-labor ratio, by which those with more of capital element export the capital-intensive products, while those with more of labor element export the labor-intensive products.
Taiwan¡¦s capital-labor ratio is approximately 221 times Fujian¡¦s, which is consistent with public understanding, that is to say, Taiwan should focus on developing capital-intensive industries, and Fujian, labor-intensive industries.
Based on objective statistics in investment items, investment amount, investment scale, and industrial structures of Taiwanese-owned enterprises in Fujian, this study is in an attempt to analyze the characteristics of distribution and development of Taiwanese-owned enterprises in Fujian after the implementation of Mainland China¡¦s reform and open-door policy.
As for the development and predicament of Taiwan-Fujian relationship, given that Fujian is not only the military frontline against Taiwan, but also the synthesized experiment zone, ¡§three links¡¨ pioneer zone, and ¡§one country, two systems¡¨ connection zone, this study suggests Taiwan should take adequate preventive measures to avoid ¡§peaceful evolution¡¨ in politics, deal with ¡§national security¡¨ issues resulted from economic exchange, and thoroughly analyze the status quo of ¡§small three links¡¨ policy.
