Taiwan's business association, the Chinese National Federation of Industries (CNFI) on Wednesday suggested the island nation join Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) amid fears of China blocking Taipei's entry.Taiwan filed its formal application to join the 11-member trading area last September, shortly after China did so. Commentators have voiced concern that if Beijing is allowed to join earlier, it will try and block Taiwan's entry, reported Taiwan News.As per CNFI, joining CPTPP will help free Taiwan businesses from the pressure of non-tariff barriers. Non-tariff barriers replaced tariffs as a major obstacle for Taiwan businesses exporting to areas like China and Southeast Asia.Joining a trade bloc like the CPTPP and signing free trade agreements (FTAs) with its members would contribute to the removal of those barriers, the group said, reported Taiwan News.According to the survey, more than 70 per cent of participating companies said they exported to Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and North America, CNA reported.If Taiwan failed to join regional trade blocs, its companies' products would lose their competitive edge, according to the CNFI survey.An importer in another country who saw they had to pay high tariffs for a product from Taiwan would think twice and prefer to order from a country that had lower tariff barriers, the CNFI said.While Southeast Asia posed the most serious problems in that respect, other countries over the past two years have been turning to less obvious non-tariff barriers to protect their companies, reported Taiwan News.Trade relief measures, customs procedures, and evaluations of product standards were the most common forms of non-tariff barriers impeding international trade.Inside the CPTPP, Taiwan sectors including steel, petrochemicals, textiles, and machinery would benefit from fewer obstacles to exports to Vietnam and Malaysia in particular, the CNFI said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
