In August this year, the Global Taiwan Institute (GTI) gathered ten analysts in Washington, DC as the “US-Taiwan Economic Relations Working Group” to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the US-Taiwan economic relationship. This article compiles thoughtful insights from the working group, which convened for a one-day workshop to outline key priorities for policy makers in both the United States and Taiwan with the goal of ensuring continued benefits from the US-Taiwan economic relationship in multiple dimensions.

The Regional Cooperation Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a major trade agreement featuring nations across the Indo-Pacific, with outsized representation from Southeast Asia. However, the RCEP has never included Taiwan. Considering Taiwan’s strong efforts to shift trade from China to Southeast Asia under the 2016 New Southbound Policy (NSP), RCEP members have few obvious economic reasons to exclude Taiwan. Rather, it is the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) economic and political influence that significantly contributes to Taiwan’s exclusion.

In February 2025, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) outlined for the first time his vision for a “non-Red supply chain” (非紅供應鏈) that could be established among democratic societies to maintain technological leadership across a range of strategic sectors—and thereby reduce the geoeconomic leverage of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
