Mainland investors take issue with Taiwan's regulations

Taiwan called for Chinese investors to pump money into the island’s economy and take advantage of cooling tensions across the strait, the South China Morning Post reported. Chiang Pin-kung, of Taiwan’s Straits Exchange Foundation, urged mainland Chinese business leaders to consider investments in Taiwan at a seminar in Taichung. Chen Yunlin, chairman of the Beijing-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, said that overly restrictive policies on mainland investment in Taiwan are the reason mainland investors have not been enthusiastic in the past, but the policies of Taiwanese president Ma Ying-Jeou, who loosened a six-decade restriction on mainland Chinese investment, had changed this. Chen arrived in Taiwan on Monday to attend a two-day conference, during which time he signed three agreements on cross-strait cooperation in industry, agriculture and fisheries.
