China, Taiwan sign economic trade pact

A historic trade deal between China and Taiwan will ease 60 years of hostility and push their economies closer than ever, the latest sign that Beijing's strategy of wooing the self-ruled island with carrots instead of sticks is paying off.

At the signing of the deal in the Chinese city of Chongqing on June 29, negotiators on both sides spoke of a new era in ties across the Taiwan Strait — where the threat of military conflict has lingered since Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949.

Bilateral trade already totals $110 billion annually, and the pact aims to boost it further by slashing tariffs on many products. Taiwanese businesses are eager to invest in China, which the pact will promote by formalizing mechanisms for dispute mediation and promising access to new sectors. (AP)
