The Eagle’S Eye On The Rising Dragon: Why The United States Has Shifted Its View Of China, Jackson Craig Scott
The Eagle’S Eye On The Rising Dragon: Why The United States Has Shifted Its View Of China, Jackson Craig Scott
Baker Scholar Projects
Since 1978, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has long been viewed as an economic trading partner of the United States of America (US). The PRC has grown to be an economic powerhouse, and the US directly helped with that process and still benefits from it. However, during the mid-2010’s, US rhetoric began to turn sour against the PRC. The American government rhetoric toward the PRC, beginning with the Obama administration, switched. As Trump’s administration came along, they bolstered this rhetoric from non-friendly to more or less hostile. Then, Biden’s administration strengthened Trump’s rhetoric. Over the past ten years or …
Rethinking Non-Recognition: The Eu’S Investment Agreement With Taiwan Under The One-China Policy, Pasha L. Hsieh
Rethinking Non-Recognition: The Eu’S Investment Agreement With Taiwan Under The One-China Policy, Pasha L. Hsieh
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article re-examines the theories of recognition and non-recognition in the context of the evolving framework of the European Union (EU)’s trade and investment relations with Taiwan from legal and international relations perspectives. Notwithstanding its one-China policy, the EU has developed a pragmatic approach to engaging Taiwan under bilateral consultations and World Trade Organization negotiations that have built the foundation for the bilateral investment agreement (BIA). The article argues that since the 1980s, the EU has accorded diverse forms of recognition to Taiwan and the BIA will buttress the process. To substantiate the contention, the article systemically explores the political …
Traditional Knowledge In Taiwan: A Call For Greater Participation Of Indigenous Peoples In The Global Intellectual Property Marketplace, James M. Cooper
Traditional Knowledge In Taiwan: A Call For Greater Participation Of Indigenous Peoples In The Global Intellectual Property Marketplace, James M. Cooper
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article explores the plight of the Aborigines of Taiwan and the legal protections that exist for their Traditional Knowledge. While Taiwan continues to face international isolation with a diminished number of states recognizing the Republic of China as the seat of China, the island's government has taken limited steps to recognize language, cultural, and economic rights of its Indigenous peoples. International law has not been helpful in protecting Traditional Knowledge, but Taiwan could use its vast economic resources and positive track record in protecting some of these rights to further its goals of international recognition. This Article details the …
China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug
China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug
Senior Honors Theses
The People’s Republic of China is an indispensable political and economic force in Asia. With the majority of the United States’ foreign economic interests invested in the Asia-Pacific region, the leading role that China is taking is a major concern. The Asia-Pacific region is strategically important to the US. How US policy makers craft foreign policy toward Asia has a direct impact on US involvement in the region. Unless the US becomes more invested in Asia, develops a comprehensive understanding of China’s role in the region, and proactively pursue strategic relationships, US influence in Asian affairs will become a thing …
An Entity Sui Generis In The Wto: Taiwan's Wto Membership And Its Trade Law Regime, Han-Wei Liu
An Entity Sui Generis In The Wto: Taiwan's Wto Membership And Its Trade Law Regime, Han-Wei Liu
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
As one of the founding members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), Taiwan (the Republic of China or ROC) - the 17th largest economy, was granted accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in November 2001 after its observer status of eleven years. Taiwan, classified by most commentators as an "unrecognized state" or an "entity sui generis", has been excluded from most of the major international organizations. Taiwan's accession to the WTO, therefore, is considered to be an important breakthrough in diplomacy for the past decades. Notwithstanding its WTO membership, the Taiwanese Government has employed numerous trade …

A View Of The Dutch Ipo Cathedral, Peter B. Oh

This is the Keynote Address for "IPOs and the Internet Age: The Case for Updated Regulations," a symposium held at The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. Initial public offerings ("IPOs") are an exercise in asymmetrical valuation. One mechanism for bridging these asymmetries is a private financial intermediary to conduct price discovery by meeting with preferred investors. An alternate mechanism is an auction, such as a descending-bid or Dutch procedure, to conduct price discovery by soliciting bids from all prospective investors. Recent disenchantment with the relationship between issuers and intermediaries has prompted some to hail (online) auction-based …
Motion Picture Piracy: Controlling The Seemingly Endless Supply Of Counterfeit Optical Discs In Taiwan, Stephen K. Shiu
Motion Picture Piracy: Controlling The Seemingly Endless Supply Of Counterfeit Optical Discs In Taiwan, Stephen K. Shiu
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Annually, Hollywood loses roughly $3.5 billion dollars in revenue to optical disc piracy in Taiwan. Optical disc piracy involves the camcording or copying of motion pictures onto laserdiscs, digital versatile discs, or video compact discs. Through the U.S. Trade Representative's satellite enforcement offices in Taiwan and coordination with the Taiwanese legislature and enforcement agencies, the U.S. motion picture companies have been able to influence some change in the frequency and severity of optical disc piracy in Taiwan. This can be mainly attributed to the Motion Picture Association of America's alliance with the U.S. Trade Representative in placing Taiwan on numerous …
Taiwan's Fair Trade Act: Achieving The Right Balance Symposium On Competition Law And Policy In Developing Countries, Pijan Wu, Caroline Thomas
Taiwan's Fair Trade Act: Achieving The Right Balance Symposium On Competition Law And Policy In Developing Countries, Pijan Wu, Caroline Thomas
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Adopting competition laws is part-and-parcel of a global trend. Indeed, it is striking to see how many countries first implemented competition laws within the last twenty-five years. In 2000, Frederic Jenny commented that "today between 80 and 100 countries have a competition law or are in the process of adopting one whereas ten years ago no more than 50 countries had such a law." This compares to less than ten countries in 1960. Promulgated by a Presidential Order on February 4, 1991 and coming into force one year thereafter, Taiwan's Fair Trade Act ("FTA") must be interpreted in this context. …

Integration Of International Financial Regulatory Standards For The Chinese Economic Area: The Challenge For China, Hong Kong, And Taiwan, Lawrence L.C. Lee
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article initially reviews the current development of financial services that converge regulatory systems around the world. Along with focusing on banking and securities, this article assesses financial systems and regulators within China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan respectively. The evaluation of the CEA's financial system is based on recommendations issued by the Basle Committee. In addition, with respect to the principle of national treatment, this article evaluates the operations of foreign financial institutions in the CEA. In the future, participation in the WTO will enable the CEA to experience greater growth and increase its participation in the internationalization of financial …
U.S. Trade Policy Toward The New Nics Of Southeast Asia, Linda Y.C. Lim
U.S. Trade Policy Toward The New Nics Of Southeast Asia, Linda Y.C. Lim
Michigan Journal of International Law
As export and economic growth in Korea and Taiwan has slowed since 1988, it has increased dramatically in several countries of Southeast Asia. Thailand, for one, is chalking up a second year of eleven percent real GDP growth in 1989 to become the fastest-growing economy in the world. Malaysia and even the Philippines are not far behind, with growth predicted to reach the six to eight percent range for the second or third year in a row. Even Indonesia's growth is rising above five percent for the first time since the oil price slump of the early 1980s. Manufactures now …
Overview: U.S.-Korea And U.S.-Taiwan Trade Law Issues In Comparative Perspective, Clyde D. Stoltenberg
Overview: U.S.-Korea And U.S.-Taiwan Trade Law Issues In Comparative Perspective, Clyde D. Stoltenberg
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since the mid-1950s, the economies of Korea and Taiwan have achieved remarkable results, with annual growth rates of ten percent not unusual in some years. During the past couple of decades, they have relied heavily on export trade, particularly with the United States, to maintain rapid growth rates and continued economic development. In 1988, for example, Korea and Taiwan enjoyed a combined trade surplus with the United States of $21.6 billion on total trade of $68.4 billion.
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since President Reagan signed the Omnibus Trade Act on August 23, 1988, the U.S. government has completed a series of investigations according to the provisions of the Act. Consultations aimed at forcing its trading partners to adjust their trade- policies which are regarded as unfair to U.S. trade have also been held in the past ten months or so. Being one of the most important trading partners of the U.S. – both in terms of its overall trade volume and its surplus with the U.S. – the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) seems to have become a target of …

The Gatt Uruguay Round: Its Significance For U.S. Bilateral Trade With Korea And Taiwan, Judith H. Bello, Alan F. Holmer
The Gatt Uruguay Round: Its Significance For U.S. Bilateral Trade With Korea And Taiwan, Judith H. Bello, Alan F. Holmer
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article reviews the choreography of U.S. trade policy, as reflected in the U.S. government's efforts to reconcile its objectives in the Uruguay Round with its actions in its bilateral relationships with Korea and Taiwan. It illustrates how developments in four key areas of the Round - protection of intellectual property, services, investment, and agriculture - and in bilateral trade negotiations are intended to be, and can be, complementary rather than contradictory.

International Trade And Investment Regulation: Developing Jurisprudence In Taiwan, Paul S.P. Hsu
International Trade And Investment Regulation: Developing Jurisprudence In Taiwan, Paul S.P. Hsu
Michigan Journal of International Law
Past and present economic development in the Republic of China has provided a model for a successful experiment whereby a society under a workable economic and social system with very limited natural resources makes the most of what it has. Yet, the momentum of the development will not permit the R.O.C. to rest at its present stage or to reminisce about past achievements. Clearly, many more stages of economic development lie ahead. Other industrially advanced nations that operate under similar limitations, such as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland, have higher per capita income, better quality of life, and a more …

The U.S. Importer's Perspective On U.S. Antitrade Actions Against Korea And Taiwan, Valerie A. Slater

A discussion of U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty law as it relates to U.S. importers, how U.S. importers react to it, and what it means to them.
Comparative Development Strategies Of South Korea And Taiwan As Reflected In Their Respective International Trade Policies, J.W. Wheeler
Comparative Development Strategies Of South Korea And Taiwan As Reflected In Their Respective International Trade Policies, J.W. Wheeler
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper examines the interplay of economic development and trade policies in South Korea and Taiwan. Although many differences exist between the two states, both have identified economic development as a central national policy goal linked explicitly to national security, even national survival. Both have targeted international trade as a key means of promoting economic development. Thus, trade policy, broadly defined, has served as one of the principal components of their economic development strategies. Of course, many other factors impinge upon trade policy formation - the national imperatives against which all policy must be weighed, economic opportunities and constraints, the …
European Community Trade Policies Vis-À-Vis Korea And Taiwan In The Eighties: A Comparative Perspective, Jean-François Bellis
European Community Trade Policies Vis-À-Vis Korea And Taiwan In The Eighties: A Comparative Perspective, Jean-François Bellis
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article will review the trade policies of the European Community towards Korea and Taiwan over the past ten years. This time period has been chosen for two reasons. In the first place, ten years ago, on November 28, 1979, the Tokyo Round of multilateral trade negotiations was concluded. At that time, the Tokyo Round was the most comprehensive GATT negotiating round ever, both in terms of trade value affected and in terms of its coverage of topics. An interesting question, therefore, is to what extent the 1979 commitments to trade liberalization were actually kept. Secondly, during the last decade …

This note will focus on direct investment in four countries in Southeast Asia: the Republic of China (ROC), the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea), Thailand, and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Despite similar goals, these four countries differ significantly in their treatment of foreign investors.

Taiwan Relations Act: Legislative Re-Recognition, Carl L. Gable
Taiwan Relations Act: Legislative Re-Recognition, Carl L. Gable
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The surprise and drama of President Carter's recognition of the People's Republic of China as "the sole legal government of China" have overshadowed the unique legal concepts on which his policy rests. Those concepts impact directly on private trade and investment transactions with Taiwan. They may also sound the death knell for traditional definitions of the term "recognition" in international law and diplomacy.
The recognition of a government such as the People's Republic of China (and the related termination of recognition of the Republic of China government) is a unique hybrid: a political act of the executive branch which directly …
