Taiwan’s ports, once among the world’s busiest before they were eclipsed by the mainland economy, can no longer compete on shipping volumes but hope to use their status as free-trade zones to entice rivals from across the strait to cooperate rather than compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The island’s biggest port, in the southern city of Kaohsiung, ranked world No 3 in 1995 but had slipped to 13th in the World Shipping Council rankings for 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northern port Keelung is in similar dire straits as it lacks the land or deep water needed to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he added that the evolution of the island’s five ports into free-trade zones raised trade value and that Beijing now wanted to set up similar zones operated by both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taiwan’s legislators are also weighing laws to create free economic zones at seven ports, allowing service-sector businesses such as hospitals and universities to get tax breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The island is increasingly looking to free-trade initiatives as ways to stimulate the US$500 billion economy that now finds itself cramped by faster-growing exporters such as mainland China, South Korea and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leia mais<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1 minuto<\/small> Taiwan’s ports, once among the world’s busiest before they were eclipsed by the mainland economy, can no longer compete on shipping volumes but hope to use their status as free-trade zones to entice rivals from across the strait to cooperate rather than compete.
