Strait talking
Article Abstract:
Multinational companies from the West are supervising their operations in China from offices based in Taiwan. Workers from Taiwan are being deployed by these firms to oversee their increasing operations in the mainland. China's huge domestic market is the main reason why these firms are building up their operations in China. Leading the movement are chemical, fastfood and electronics companies. Taiwan, whose manufacturing base is being adversely affected by the movement of the companies, is also sharing indirectly in the investment boom in China.

Strait ahead
Article Abstract:
The Taiwan government's survey of the economic conditions of Taiwanese enterprises in China showed encouraging results. Of 302 firms surveyed, 85% claimed they were planning to expand production next year while about 30% said they were profitable. In 1991, trade volume between China and Taiwan amounted to US$5.8 billion with total Taiwanese investment in China estimated at US$3 billion. Respondents, however, said their major problems were government corruption, lack of productivity, poor transportation facilities and insufficient energy sources.
