Taiwan says to hold more trade talks with US
TAIPEI - Taiwan's chief trade negotiator John Deng will hold more talks with the United States on bilateral trade, the island's government said on Wednesday , after being excluded from a major new US economic plan for the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr Deng has pushed strongly for Taiwan to be included in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, or IPEF, one part of the US administration's effort to counter what it says is Beijing's increasing economic and military coercion in the region.
China is not a member of the grouping, whose initial founders include the United States, Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The United States is Taiwan's most important international supporter and arms supplier, and Taipei has been keen to show the importance it attaches to their trade relationship, especially on the crucial supply of semiconductors.China regards Taiwan as a renegade province, to be reunified by force, if necessary and Chinese pressure means the exclusion of Taiwan from most international bodies like the United Nations.
