ECFA can create over 105,000 job opportunities in Taiwan: report

Taipei, Oct. 21 (CNA) In a best-case senario, the proposed cross-strait economic agreement would create 105,000 to 125,000 job opportunities in Taiwan, according to a report released Wednesday.

Prof. Lin Kuo-jung, director of International Trade at the Chihlee Institute of Technology that was commissioned by the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) to conduct the study, weighed the impact on Taiwan if the economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) is signed and if it is not.

Adopting the global trade analysis project (GTAP) model, Lin based his research on four scenarios -- the formation of a free trade grouping among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China, South Korea and Japan (ASEAN +three) without the ECFA; an ASEAN + three grouping with both Taiwan and China denied access to each other's agricultural markets; an ASEAN + three grouping with China opening its agricultural market and Taiwan's remaining closed; and an ASEAN + three grouping with both Taiwan and China adopting an open market policy.

China and Russia hail “flourishing trade”











The leaders of China and Russia have hailed what they call flourishing ties which they say have defied the economic crisis at a meeting near Moscow.

With world economies hit by the global downturn, China has become Russia’s biggest trade partner.

This includes oil deals between the two countries worth around 100 billion dollars.

Hu’s state visit to Russia included two summits of developing world countries covering global trade, security and greater representation for emerging markets on the world stage.

The Chinese leader, who also took time to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Moscow, has invited prime minister Vladimir Putin to Beijing in the autumn.
