在全球區域整合的快速激增之下，雖然東亞各國積極參與區域貿易協定，但是東亞區域經濟整合因為地理、歷史、政治等多項因素，到目前為止，仍然有許多困境。因為區域整合的趨勢和中國經濟的崛起，兩岸的貿易變動使得台灣對中國的貿易依存度逐步升高。兩岸在這種不對稱的貿易依存下，是否對台灣產業造成危險，而台灣產業能否克服此種障礙，為本研究所探討的議題。從1990年代開始的區域經濟整合趨勢、貿易依存度分析和台灣產業的危機，這些文獻皆為本研究所探討的核心。最後，本研究推論在東亞經濟整合趨勢下，台灣對中國貿易依存度的升高，有助於台灣融合在東亞經濟整合內。並且，台灣產業在本研究分析下最好選擇對中國開放，同時，增加台灣產業在全球的產業競爭力。 Due to the fast growth of the globally regional integration, East Asian countries actively participate in the regional trade agreement. However, at the present, geographical, historical, and political factors have caused their difficulties in regional economic integration. Under the tendency of regional integration and the rise of China's economy, Taiwan's trade dependence on China is gradually growing up because of the fluctuations of cross-strait trade. This study explored the following issues: Will the dissymmetrical trade dependence be detrimental to Taiwan's industry? Is Taiwan's industry able to overcome this obstacle? It reviewed literature on the tendency of regional economic integration, the analysis of trade dependence, and the crisis of Taiwan's industry since 1990s. Finally, it concluded that under the tendency of economic integration in East Asia, the rise of the Taiwan trade dependence on China is helpful to the economic integration of Taiwan into East Asia. Therefore, it is suggested that Taiwanese industry adopt open-door policies to China in order to strengthen its own competitive ability in the global industry.
