Date: Thursday, 14 April 2011 In the mid-to-late 1980s the US pressured high-surplus, export-oriented East Asian economies to rebalance – starting with their exchange rates. The prospect of higher operating costs in Japan and Taiwan led to hundreds of billions of dollars in direct investment flowing to China in an effort to sustain profits. Asia’s share of America’s deficit didn’t change, it just consolidated in China as the final shipper. Today, China is the target of global pressure to rebalance at precisely the moment Taiwan has committed to deepen its ties to China. Will Chinese rebalancing cause a second shock for Taiwan, and what are the prospects for American businesses? The Peterson Institute’s new study on cross-Strait economic deepening, of which Mr. Rosen is the co-author, provides a number of insights.
